Hope Award for Service Recipient
Sue Johnston fully embraces every part of RESOLVE's mission and has so for decades. Today, she and her husband Bob and Airedale Terrier Griff, reside in Michigan, where Johnston runs RESOLVE support groups, answers calls from our national HelpLine, and brings community to the cause through the Detroit DIY Walk of Hope. Through the DIY Walks, Sue and her community have raised more than $45,000 for RESOLVE's mission.
Johnston always answers the advocacy call by participating in RESOLVE's Federal Advocacy Day as an advocate and State Captain for Michigan. Sue is also a board member of the Michigan Fertility Alliance and helped to create the first-ever Michigan Infertility Advocacy Day (MIAD) in September of 2021. Since then, MIAD has become an annual event to promote pro-family building legislation in her state. Sue wears "all the volunteer hats" for RESOLVE. And she uses her experience with RESOLVE to mentor others looking to get involved and give advice to others through her blog and website.
She took her infertility experience and gave back to others through her book Detours: Unexpected Journeys of Hope Conceived from Infertility. In this book, she shares the inspirational stories of her core group of warrior friends whom she met through RESOLVE over thirty years ago.
