A Story of HOPE! In the Toughest Moments, this Couple Doesn’t Give Up… Instead, the Fitch Family Gives Back with the Cuddle Cow Company


TUNE IN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | PANDORA | AMAZON MUSIC


In December of 2019 Karen suffered a spinal cord injury due to an AVM in her spinal cord. In April of 2020 in the middle of the pandemic she returned home while still on ventilator support along with a trachea installed. With the incredible support of her husband, family and friends, and prayers around the world, she continued to work extremely hard towards her recovery. 

Prognosis was unclear and upsetting at the onset of her injury, but as she regained some movement in her left arm and hand, it motivated Karen even more and she works tirelessly everyday. In July of 2020, at the end of a long day, Karen tried to wiggle her toes and miraculously one toe did. This amazed everyone around her and gave a great amount of hope for the first time in a long time.

Efforts have continued and Karen was able to go off the ventilator in October of 2020. As we continue to fight and improve, Karen and her husband, Nik want to raise money for Spinal Cord Research. They believe there are future restorative therapies and regenerative medicines that will not only help Karen walk again, but also many others. They want to be proactive and on the forefront of the mission.

Karen and Nik own a cow calf operation that brings great joy to Karen and her family. They want to share that joy and happiness they get, from their farm to your home with part of the profit going to Spinal Cord Research.

We hope you will join us in the fight that affects millions around the globe.

Karen’s story is one of hope and inspiration and she and Nik are joining me on the podcast to talk all about how they are using that journey to give back.

It all starts with a sweet love story, one that will bring a smile to your face as we hear Nik tell all about how he pursued Karen and fell in love. Their journey hasn’t been what they were expecting, as their life changed almost overnight just a couple of years into their marriage. But this couple’s unconditional love for one another, their shared interests, and servant hearts are what has led them to where they are today, including the launching of their business, Cuddle Cow Company.

Karen and Nik are sharing all about how they came up with the idea for their business and how it’s blessing others with comfort and hope for a cure for the half a million people each year who are dealing with spinal cord injuries.

  • The sweet love story that led them to where they are today
