Thank you for visiting my fundraising page for the Congenital Heart Walk. Raising funds for CHD research is critically important to all Heart Warriors and Heart Angels, and personally very meaningful to me. Your donation to the Children's Heart Foundation "Places Children at the Heart of Research." That's right, CHF funds life-changing research to advance the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of CHDs.
Walking with my best friend’s family for her niece, Calie, had been a summer tradition for many years.
Then when her daughter, Evelyn, was born with Tetralogy of Fallot, the urgency became higher. I not only increased my fundraising efforts, I joined and eventually led the planning committee for several years.
In 2024, our team expanded by one Heart Warrior - Amazing Maezy was born with complex CHDs, single ventricle and Heterotoxy Syndrome - demonstrating the importance of continued CHD research funding as she amazes us with her strength to prove the doctors wrong.
I support The Children’s Heart Foundation throughout the year because the research funded by this organization likely saved the life of each of these Heart Heroes. Without such needed funds, Calie, Evelyn and Maezy may not have received the life-saving care as quickly as they did. Today, at ages 16, 8 and under 1 year old, each of these little ladies continues to grow and thrive in ways only the strongest of special hearts can. We thank God as well as those who support CHF and CHD research for these blessings!
Please help me raise funds to support additional research so future families who have CHD babies can know the support they need is available. Thank you in advance!
Love,
Christine ?
