Join me in supporting congenital heart defect research!

Donate Now

Our team is raising funds for congenital heart defect (CHD) research - join us! 

At 20 weeks pregnant, my daughter Ashley and her husband Andrew their unborn, youngest son Chandler was diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot, a critical CHD. This condition is a combination of four heart defects that are present at birth. Along with TOF, he has several other abnormalities that make his heart complex. In May 2021, at 3 months old, Chandler had his first open-heart surgery. There is no cure for CHD, even with improved treatments or if the heart defect has been repaired. Many children face a life-long risk of health problems and physical limitations. On February 19, 2022, Chandler will turn 1 and, although it hasn't been an easy journey, he continues to thrive – he is our heart warrior!

Why give? Congenital heart defects are the most common birth defect in the nation, impacting ONE in every 110 babies each year. The Children’s Heart Foundation exists to make sure Chandler - and everyone impacted by CHDs - live long and healthy lives.

Help us reach our fundraising goal by making a donation today and THANK YOU in advance for your support!
