Thank you for visiting our team page! Every 15 minutes, a baby in this country is born with a congenital heart defect, making CHDs America's most common birth defect. The Congenital Heart Walk is dedicated to raising funds to support The Children's Heart Foundation's mission: to advance the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of CHDs by funding the most promising research.
Caleb was born with a heart defect called Tetralogy of Fallot. Tetralogy of Fallot is a rare condition caused by a combination of four heart defects. At just 6 months old Caleb had his first open heart surgery. The beginning of his recovery was extremely rough. But he persevered and went home after a month long stay! Although he had a successful surgery, he requires regular cardiology visits and may possibly need more surgery. With these donations we can fund life-saving research that can help improve survival rates, longevity, and quality of life!
I hope you'll join us by supporting our fundraising efforts.
