CARIN
KRAUT COHEN
Carin was a marketing director of a large investment firm before leaving
the corporate world to raise a family. She is the mother of five children,
each a year apart, now in their teens. For several years she had two
or three children in diapers at the same time. She was pregnant with
her fifth child when her middle child was diagnosed with a rare form
of leukemia that required frequent trips to hospitals, then daily
trips to receive intensive chemotherapy nearly an hour's drive away.
After a couple of years a lifesaving bone marrow donor was found,
leading the family to travel across the country for a 4-month stay
in a Ronald McDonald House while her son was being treated. Along
with the emotional demands of such an experience, the daily demands
of packing diapers, wipes and baby needs were relentless. Her interest
in creating convenient baby products grew out of her experience not
only as a mother but also as a competitive athlete who has traveled
near and far to competitions with her own little fan club in tow.
Whether preparing a family outing (to the seashore or to the hospital)
or training for a triathlon or marathon, preparation is essential. |

HENRIETTA
E. RENZI
Henrietta worked in the legal field until her son was diagnosed with
autism at age two. She then took leave to devote her full time to
childrearing. Having a child with special needs required an extra
two years in potty training and much changing on-the-go. Unwilling
to deny her son and herself family outings and travel vacations despite
the extra attention her son required, Henrietta learned to be prepared
at all times. An "accident" in a pool would add stress to
everyone's day. Carrying an oversize bag was cumbersome. Henrietta
learned the importance of being prepared for small accidents so that
she could concentrate on the larger challenges of parenting. Henrietta
co-founded Baby Buns On The Run to make life a little more convenient
for a challenging and demanding lifestyle.

| Henrietta and
Carin have had vastly different parenting experiences, yet they created
Baby Buns On The Run armed with one of the primary lessons of childrearing:
that by being prepared for small "accidents" one is better
prepared should more significant challenges arise. To
honor the significant challenges that the founders and many other
parents face, a portion of profits from our products will be donated
to autism, juvenile diabetes, and leukemia research. |
