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 me.

My son Thomas was diagnosed with a Congenital Heart Defect at my 20 week anatomy ultrasound. At first the doctors believed he had HLHS but as the pregnancy progressed it was looking more like Coarctation of the Aorta.

Thomas was born on Friday July 19th, 2019 at 4:26am. Once I heard him cry my heart was relieved. He was in the NICU for six days while they were able to diagnose him. He in fact had Coartation of the Aorta and Aortic Valve Stenosis. He also had Pulminary Hypertension. He had his coartation surgery at 7 days old and had a valve ballooning at 2 months old. So far he is doing well but as with everyone with a CHD there is no cure. He will be monitored by his cardiologist for the rest of his life.     

Please help us to fund CHD research by making a donation to my personal fundraising page. Together we can make a life-saving difference!
