Thank you for visiting my fundraising page for the Congenital Heart Walk. Raising funds for CHD research is critically important to all Heart Warriors and Heart Angels, and personally very meaningful to our family.

As most of you know, at 11 days old, Jackson was diagnosed with Congenital Heart Disease with a heart defect known as Ventricular Septal Defect.  Jackson's VSD was large and required Open Heart Surgery to repair on December 17, 2019.  

While a VSD is one of the most common of heart defects, being first time parents with no history of CHD, this diagnosis came as a devastating shock to us.  We are thrilled to share that Jackson is thriving post-op, but he's not fully in the clear.  Jackson will always live with a Congenital Heart Disease diagnosis and will likely be monitored by cardiologists for his entire life (the timeframe between visits will hopefully extend as he gets older).  

We are walking in honor of (and with) Jackson to raise awareness and funds for CHD research.  We feel incredibly lucky to have Jackson home with us and thriving, and want to support other families who live with loved ones with CHD. 

Please help us to fund CHD research by making a donation to any of our personal fundraising pages. Together we can make a life-saving difference!
