Emaline was born with a congenital heart defect known as a Double Aortic Arch. She spent the first year of her life in and out of the hospital and enduring exams and tests while struggling to breathe. She had a life saving surgery at 11 months old to fix her heart defect and her airway. She is a thriving toddler today because of the amazing cardiovascular team at Boston Children's Hospital and the airway team at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. 

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 me.

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! Thank you in advance for your support.
