sophie’s story

 

Sophie was born with Tetralogy of Fallot. Her cardiologist recommended surgery to be done at CHLA. Sophie was transported via helicopter to Kaiser Sunset. The surgeon wanted to attempt to do repair through a blood vessel in her leg with a catheter but at two days old her vessels were too tiny. The surgeon then set out for open heart surgery at two weeks of age. During surgery, a murmur was patched and a cow vessel in place of a missing aorta valve. Sophie had her second open heart surgery at 8 months old to replace previous cow vessel. Sophie anticipates more surgeries in her future as she gets older and her heart outgrows the artificial aorta valve. sophie is 11 today and thriving thanks to research and community. 

 

 

 

 

I want to express my heartfelt thanks for taking a moment to visit my fundraising page.

My commitment to making a difference has led me to participate in the Congenital Heart Walk, an event that carries immense significance for me. It's not just a walk; it's a stride toward changing lives. This endeavor is all about supporting The Children's Heart Foundation and their crucial mission - advancing the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of congenital heart defects through groundbreaking research.

I warmly invite you to become a part of this significant journey by supporting my fundraising efforts. Together, we can raise the funds essential to drive forward life-saving research. Your contribution holds immeasurable value to me.

Thank you for your generosity, and for standing beside me in this mission. Your support means the world.
