Every 15 minutes in the United States, a baby is born with a congenital heart defect, making CHDs the most common birth defect in our country. The Congenital Heart Walk is dedicated to making a difference. Our mission is clear - we aim to raise funds to support The Children's Heart Foundation in its quest to advance the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of CHDs by funding groundbreaking research.

As many of our family and friends know Finley Lucile was one of those babies born with CHD. She shocked her mom and dad when the doctor told us at her one week appointment that she had ASD (Atrial Septal Defect), VSD (Ventricular Septal Defect, and PVS (Plumonary Valve Stenosis). Finley has been the bravest little girl fighting like a champ with her heart defect and feeding issues. After 6 months of slow growth, barley eating, and 2 hospital stays Finley had a Heart Cahterization were they found the root cause of her issues. She was diagnosed also with PAPVR (Partial Anomalous Pulmonary Venous) which meant there was extra blood flow to heart making her heart to be enlarged and in return caused her heart to work harder. 

On October 18th, 2023 Finley went thru her open heart procedure to fix her issues. Since then Finley has grown into a crazy 18 month old toddler that is making strives everyday to prove that she is a heart warior.
