Lauren and Mason

Lauren and Mason Otus live in Chicago’s Lakeview East neighborhood with their mini Bernedoodle, Bodie. They enjoy exploring new restaurants, traveling, golfing, and taking long walks along the lakefront. They are excited to start their family and are pursuing IVF with PGT-M after learning Mason carries the BRCA2 mutation, which has affected multiple generations of his family. They are recipients of a grant through the Magnolia Tree Foundation in partnership with the Chicago Coalition for Family building and look forward to building a healthier future for the next generation.
