Team IslaStrong

At just 19 weeks old, our precious granddaughter Isla is fighting for her life in the Cleveland Clinic Pediatric Cardiac ICU. Isla has been diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy, a rare and life-threatening condition that has caused her heart to become dangerously enlarged and too weak to pump blood effectively. After weeks of tests, treatments, and unimaginable fear, our family received the news no one is ever prepared for: Isla is now on the heart transplant list. She spends her days surrounded by monitors, IV medications, and an incredible cardiac team working around the clock to keep her stable while we wait and pray for a donor heart. Every moment is filled with hope, anxiety, and awe at the strength of such a tiny baby with such a big fight.

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

This year, I'm walking with extra purpose as The Children's Heart Foundation celebrates 30 incredible years of funding research that saves lives and changes futures. My commitment to making a difference has led me to participate in the Congenital Heart Walk, an event that carries immense significance for me—especially knowing that for three decades, CHF has been the leading force behind the treatments and surgical advances that help children with congenital heart defects thrive.

It's not just a walk; it's a stride toward the next 30 years of hope. This endeavor is all about supporting The Children's Heart Foundation's crucial mission—advancing the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of congenital heart defects through groundbreaking research that improves survival rates, reduces complications, and helps Heart Warriors celebrate more birthdays than ever before.

I warmly invite you to become a part of this milestone journey by supporting my fundraising efforts. Together, we can raise the funds essential to continue the life-saving research that turns heartbreak into hope. Your contribution holds immeasurable value to me and to every family who needs CHF's support.

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