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.

As many of you know Kennedy was born with an Atrioventricular Septal defect. She underwent open heart surgery while we were stationed in Hawaii at Kapiʻolani Medical Center for Women and Children during their amazing Heart week. She is not fully repaired, but is completely stable, and is monitored yearly for any changes that may require further interventions. 

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.
