We walk to celebrate my Rare Critical Congenital Heart Defect Warrior Madelyn who has survived 5 Cardiac Cath Lab Procedures and an Open Heart Surgery so far in her 7 years of life so far. ❤️ She was born with Pulmonary Atresia with Intact Ventricular Septum, Tricuspid Regurgitation, Valve Insufficiencies, and Right Ventricular Hypoplasia. She has a BiDirectional Glenn 1.5 Ventricle anatomy, and is waiting for her Pulmonary Valve Replacement with a Melody Valve in the Cath Lab. Dr. James Kyser and his team have saved her life countless times, and we are so grateful to everyone at PCCO Pediatric Cardiology Center of Oregon for their amazing care. ❤️

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.
