Laura Sanko’s Son
Laura and Nathan welcomed their first child, Burke Edward Sanko, into the world on December 20, 2013, in Merriam, KS, United States.
Unfortunately, Burke had to spend some time in the NICU due to a blood infection, but Laura shared pictures of her newborn on social media.
On December 24, just a few days after Burke’s birth, Laura created a Facebook page to keep friends and family updated on his progress.
In one of her posts, she mentioned that Burke was not yet ready to participate in martial arts due to his short attention span.
However, Laura hoped that the training program, known as Bedtime Fight Club (BFC), would help Burke prepare for official lessons in the future, should he choose to pursue them.
