HAMPTON ROADS, Va. Eliza Darby was diagnosed with intractable epilepsy and autism spectrum disorder at two years old and passed away in 2016 after complications with the disease. Her mother, Aimee Darby, joined us to talk about how she has allowed Eliza's legacy to live on through the Eliza Hope Foundation, which supports families living with autism and provides educational support for children in the Hampton Roads area and beyond.

Get involved by participating in the Hope Shines Gala on March 20 at the Hilton on 21st Street. Tickets and sponsorships can be purchased through elizahope.org.
