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.  I am a heart warrior!

Before the age of 1, I had to have 2 open-heart surgeries that saved my life.  With the support of my awesome cardiac team at Lurie's, supportive family and friends, and organizations that fund the advancement of medical research for kids like me - I would not be here today!

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.
