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.

Kayden was initially diagnosed with Severe Aortic Stenosis after his 18 week anatomy scan. What that meant was his aortic valve was much smaller that it should have been, resulting in reduced blood flow through the left side of his heart. Within a week of the initial diagnosis, we were told that they could no longer see any blood flow to the left side and that Kayden would be born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS). If Kayden would have been born alive, he would have undergone open heart surgery within a week of life, along with a second procedure within 6 months of age.

Your donation will help fund research to help babies like Kayden have a chance at living longer, healthier lives.
