As many of you know, our granddaughter Emily has a severe congenital heart defect, Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. There is no cure for HLHS only a series of 3 open heart surgeries to hopefully prolong her life.

She had the third surgery, the Fontan in May of 2021 and is thankfully doing great!

Although these surgeries have been successful and we are so grateful, if she would need further surgical intervention for any reason it would have to be a heart transplant at this point. This is why fundraising is so important…..research is key for finding a cure for Emily and other children with congenital heart defects.

We are raising funds for the St. Louis Congenital Heart Walk on October 30th. All funds are used strictly for research.

Please consider donating and/or joining Team Emily.
