‘Fight for a Better Life’: LPGA Tour Pro Narrates a Heartwarming Story About Her Daughters Battle With a Chronic Disease

The professional golfer on the LPGA, Jane Park, and her husband, caddie, Peter Godfrey, are facing an impossible situation. Grace, their daughter, is suffering from epilepsy. Park joined BK & John on KMOT, a television station in Minot. There she revealed how her world spun upside down after they diagnosed her precious daughter with the disease. 

Only a mother knows how she feels when her child suffers. And the pain of a mother was visible in the words of Park. A snippet of her interview was shared by SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio and reshared by Chantel McCabe, the host at SiriusXM. Park’s words touched her so much that she urged everyone to listen to the full interview. McCabe wrote, “I hope you get the chance to listen to this whole interview.” She added that Park’s tedious documentation had opened her eyes to how we fail to support people and kids who have been dealt this unimaginable hand.

Let’s find out what a mother’s broken heart had to say.

The words of true love by Jane Park

Park spoke in the interview, and every word from her mouth was the epitome of her love for her daughter. However, she and her husband were thrown into something they never imagined. The whole new world was open to them after having a neurotypical child for up to 10 months.

Suddenly all the plans and dreams that she had of doing things with her daughter taking her places, teaching her how to play golf, or playing basketball, were all thrown out the window with no warning. And now, they had to learn to adapt and survive in a world that isn’t built for those with disabilities. However, talking about being strong, she said, “So as we’re going, we’re learning how to be more inclusive and how to fight for a better life for our daughter who, you know, there’s no guarantee that she’ll walk or sit up one day.” 

The pro golfer and her caddie husband are trying their best to navigate the medical and healthcare systems. However, she believes trying is not enough; they must be consistent.

Have they reached any milestones?

Park has been fighting daily; however, every step they take is essential. She said they are taking the minor victories as they come because they’re few and very small. However, those little victories are not milestones for the couple, but they are doing their best. “We don’t call them milestones; we call them inch stones in the world of disability, so we’re just we’re actually just super thankful that she survived and is alive with us here today,” said Park. However, after all the hardship, she is glad to have her daughter in her arms.
