I want to express my heartfelt thanks for taking a moment to visit my fundraising page.

Our family has been part of the Children's Foundation for 8 or so years!

At our 20-week ultrasound with our twins, our world changed when we learned that Baby B would be born with a critical congenital heart defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS).

Austin was born prematurely alongside his healthy twin sister, already facing odds no baby should have to face. Since then, he has endured four open-heart surgeries, one major stomach surgery, and countless procedures, tests, hospital stays, and appointments.

Through it all, Austin has continued to amaze us.

Thanks to lifesaving research, medical advancements, and the incredible doctors, nurses, and medical teams who have cared for him, Austin is still here with us today — growing, thriving, and writing his own incredible story.

Our family knows firsthand just how important congenital heart defect research is. The treatments and procedures that have saved Austin’s life exist because families before us supported research and helped make medical advancements possible. Now, we want to help do the same for the children and families who come after us.

Thank you for supporting our team, for supporting CHD research, and most importantly, for helping give children like Austin the chance to grow up. Every donation truly matters. ❤️
