Did you know that congenital heart defects (CHDs) are the number one birth defect in the United States? About 1 in 110 babies, a baby born approximately every 15 minutes in the U.S., is born with a heart defect.

Raising funds for congenital heart defect (CHD) research is not only critically important to all babies born with, and children and adults living with CHDs, it is also personally meaningful to our family.

Our heart warrior Milo was diagnosed with a heart condition called Tetralogy of Fallot at 21 weeks at our anatomy scan. Since his birth, his heart is doing and growing better than expected, but he will need open heart surgery before he turns a year old to repair the defects he was born with and live a healthy life. He has grown so much in his short life and is such a strong, little fighter; we are so blessed to be his parents!

By donating to help me reach my fundraising goal, you're helping to fund the most promising research into CHDs - America's most common birth defect.

Together we can make a life-saving difference!
