Hi. My name is Angela LaBoccetta. I would like to invite everyone to join me in this year’s Congenital Heart Walk on May 14th, 2022. This walk is very special to me and my family. This will be my 6th year walking to honor and remember all people who have been impacted by congenital heart disease (CHD). I was born with a heart disease called Tetralogy of Fallot, which contains four defects of the heart. When I was five months old, I had open heart surgery to repair these defects. I visit my cardiologist once a year for a checkup to make sure everything is fine with my heart. Now, my heart is functioning without a valve, which I will need replaced with another surgery in the near future. This will allow me to continue doing things I love: dancing, playing sports, exercising, baking, shopping, and spending time with my family and friends. I would love for you to join me and my team, Angela’s Amazing Angels, at this year’s Long Island Congenital Heart Walk. If you cannot join me, please consider donating to the Children’s Heart Foundation. The money raised will help with research, programs, and treatments of congenital heart defects. Hope to see you there! Thank you for your continued love and support!
