Thank you for visiting our team page! Every 15 minutes, a baby in this country is born with a congenital heart defect, making CHDs America's most common birth defect. The Congenital Heart Walk is dedicated to raising funds to support The Children's Heart Foundation's mission: to advance the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of CHDs by funding the most promising research.

Will you join us? By supporting our team or joining us in our walk, you're supporting research that will help save and improve the lives of babies born, and children and adults living, with CHDs. Thank you!

We are walking for our daughter Gianna, who was born with a very large VSD and ASD. She was struggling to breathe and eat for the first three months of her life. Her VSD was large enough that it would not have closed on its own, and at three months old, she had open heart surgery to patch her VSD and ASD. We are so grateful for all the doctors and nursing staff at the Children's Hospital of Milwaukee. We appreciate all the love and support from our family and friends.
