Gina Rothe’s Give2myVBF Fundraiser - Vascular Birthmarks Foundation

My name is Gina Rothe. I am the Marketing & Communications Manager at the Vascular Birthmarks Foundation and a boutique portrait photographer located in the Hudson Valley, New York.

I spent most of my life ignoring my vascular birthmark letting people know it was ‘just a birthmark’ when asked, if they were concerned. But, it’s not just a birthmark. It’s a highly visible physical difference, and one that still requires educating others among general populations and among medical professionals, domestically and internationally. It’s a rare condition that needs certain maintenance that health insurance still denies coverage for.

While having a visible vascular birthmark has presented challenges, I’ve always accepted myself and my differences because I believe authenticity and confidence is powerful and magnetic.

VBF has helped me connect with others like me, while also leveraging my arts and communications background to make a real difference with the No. 1 non-profit in the world for vascular birthmarks, anomalies, and/or related syndromes (VBARS).
