Hi! My name is Savannah, and I gave birth to our fiery, sassy, opinionated, strong, kind, and silly Heart Warrior in 2023. A day after her birth a pediatrician found a significant heart murmur during her routine check up...followed by countless echocardiograms, an unexpected NICU stay, and continuous monitoring, she was diagnosed with Aortic Valve Stenosis.

Her life has been nothing short of miraculous so far. No surgeries or interventions have happened - until they are absolutely needed to allow her pulmonary valve to grow with her, to later replace her aortic valve. She is a spunky cutie that wants to live a typically active life like any other toddler!

This journey was not expected, and quite traumatic to be honest, but it has changed our lives forever. It's our mission to support her community and give her a full life of love and activity. We want her to forever be surrounded by other Heart Warriors and feel as supported as possible.

This year my team has a goal of raising $2,000 for our walk! Any help in supporting our family, other families of Heart Warriors, and families of Heart Angels is so so so appreciated!

Thank you again for supporting our fundraising efforts and standing with my family and Heart Warrior while walking for advancing diagnoses, treatments, and the prevention of congenital heart defects through groundbreaking research!
