Come walk with us on May 3, 2025 at Sunken Meadow State Park to help us raise money and awareness for CHD research! Leading our team will be our very own heart warrior, Jacob! Jacob is a silly and sweet 5 year old who was born with 4 congential heart defects. He has undergone 3 open heart surgeries, his most recent in April 2023, and now has a heart that functions with single ventricle anatomy. In the spring of 2024 we discovered that Jacob will also need to go in for a 4th open heart surgery for a pacemaker. While we are not sure when this next step in his journey will be, we are sure that he will continue to be the toughest heart warrior we know.

Jacob has the biggest personality, with such a genuine love for life. He is also 1 in 100 people born with a CHD. And while that makes congential heart defects the #1 birth defect, it remains largely underfunded. To help us make a difference toward a cause that is so close to our hearts, please come walk with us, or donate,..not only to help us and the Children's Heart Foundation raise much needed funds, but to also show Jacob the love he has shown all of us!

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

My commitment to making a difference has led me to participate in the Congenital Heart Walk, an event that carries immense significance for me. It's not just a walk; it's a stride toward changing lives. This endeavor is all about supporting The Children's Heart Foundation and their crucial mission - advancing the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of congenital heart defects through groundbreaking research.

I warmly invite you to become a part of this significant journey by supporting my fundraising efforts. Together, we can raise the funds essential to drive forward life-saving research. Your contribution holds immeasurable value to me.
