Thank you for visting Team Avery's fundraising page!
This will be our family's 2nd year participation in the Cincinnati Congenital Heart Walk. This event carries immense significance for us. We found out our daughter, Avery had Tetralogy of Fallot when I was 24 weeks pregnant. Those first few days after we received her diagnosis were filled with so many emotions, questions and tears. In May 2024, at barely 5 months old, our strong girl had open heart surgery to repair her defects. Through everything, she has been the strongest, feistiest and most resilent baby. Always keeping us on our toes and doing things on her terms. We have had the best cardiology team at Norton Children's Hospital looking after her, and our family is forever indebted to them.
In the year since her surgery, Avery has had an incredible recovery and is thriving. At 18months old, she is constantly on the move, always wanting to be where her big brother is. She is the happiest girl, full of smiles and sass.
Being a parent to a heart warrior is not a journey I ever thought I would be on. We have been so lucky to have an amazing support system of family and friends with us through this journey. We are happy to support The Children's Heart Foundation and their crucial mission - advancing the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of congenital heart defects through groundbreaking research. This foundation's work goes directly to helping heart warriors just like Avery. Together, we can raise the funds essential to drive forward life-saving research.
Your support for Team Avery means so much!
