Since Lucas was born and we learned of his VSD, we have made it a priority to support The Children’s Heart Foundation with continuous hope for his health and well-being. After five years of observation, it was determined that he would need surgery to help prevent future complications. We’re proud to share that Lucas successfully underwent open heart surgery this past March and is doing better than ever!

Now more than ever, we are walking with purpose and gratitude in honor of Lucas and the millions of children and families impacted by congenital heart disease.

This year’s walk feels especially meaningful as The Children’s Heart Foundation celebrates 30 incredible years of funding life-saving research. For three decades, CHF has played a leading role in advancing the treatments and surgical breakthroughs that help children with congenital heart defects not only survive, but thrive.

By participating in the Congenital Heart Walk, we are supporting CHF’s mission to advance the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of congenital heart defects through groundbreaking research that improves survival rates, reduces complications, and helps more Heart Warriors celebrate birthdays and milestones with their families.

I warmly invite you to be part of this journey by supporting our fundraising efforts. Together, we can help fund the research that continues turning heartbreak into hope. Your contribution means more than we can express — not only to our family, but to every family impacted by congenital heart disease.

Thank you for your generosity and for standing beside our family in this mission. Your support truly means the world to us.
