Dear friends and family,

I invite you to join me in supporting medical research in diagnosis, treatment and prevention of congenital heart defects (CHDs).

Nearly 1% of babies today are born with some type of CHD, making it the most common type of birth defect. One in four of those little fighters will be born with a critical CHD, and they will need medical intervention in their first year of life. As many of you know, our little baby girl, Ana Sofia, was one of them! Ana had her open-heart surgery at just three months of age and, thanks to the talented medical team at Cohen's Children's Hospital in New York, she now has a normal healthy life in front of her. Such miracles have been made possible by years of dedicated medical research - research enabled in part by charitable donations from ordinary people like you and me.

Please help us fund CHD research by making a small donation. And better yet, join us on May 14 at 8.30AM for the 2022 Long Island Congenital Heart Walk (Sunken Meadow State Park, Field1, State Highway 25A, Kings Park, NY)!

On behalf of everyone whose life has been somehow affected by CHD: THANK YOU!
