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 now also personally meaningful to me and Georgie. On July 6, 2022 Georgie had open heart surgery at UCSF to repair a ventricular septal defect (VSD). She is doing great now and we are so grateful for the care we received at UCSF. Our gratitude has motivated us to form Team Hellawell Heart Warriors to walk in the 2022 San Francisco Congenital Heart Walk on August 13 at the San Francisco Zoo. 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. 

If you will be in San Francisco on August 13, 2022, please join us in person at the San Francisco Zoo! The Congenital Heart Walk includes family-friendly activities, music, entertainment, refreshments, peace and remembrance, research remarks, acknowledgements, and our Walk! Join us as we gather together to support The Children’s Heart Foundation’s mission of funding the most promising congenital heart defect research.

Together we can make a life-saving difference! Thank you in advance for your support.
