Atlanta Congenital Heart Walk

On March 14, 2022 I was blessed with the birth of my seventh grandchild, Mason. Shortly after he was born, he was rushed to a cardiac facility as it was discovered that his heart was not fully developed. One day after his birth he underwent his first cardiac operation. During the first year of his life, he required four heart procedures and lengthy hospitalizations. It was a very stressful and difficult time for our family. At two years old he is thriving and under the care of a cardiologist. He loves to play, has a great sense of humor, and looks forward to times with his family. While he is doing well and stable, the reality that open heart surgery is in his future weighs heavy on our hearts.

Watching mine and other families go through the emotional turmoil of having a child with a congenital heart defect, my family have decided to participate in fundraiser that helps support ground breaking research. I am reaching out to my friends and family to become part of my team, the Sweethearts. You can support our efforts in two ways, financial and prayer. Please keep Mason and all the children with congenital heart defects and their families in your prayers.
