For My Niece. For Every Heart.
Heart health became personal to me because of someone very close to my heart my niece.
In 2025, she was born with congenital heart disease (CHD), and on September 19, 2025, she underwent heart repair surgery. Watching my sister and our family navigate the uncertainty, fear, and challenges surrounding her first year of life changed the way I think about heart health forever.
Today, seeing my niece growing stronger is something our family will never take for granted. Her journey is also a reminder of how much progress has been made because of cardiovascular research, innovative treatments, incredible medical teams, and the people who chose to support that work long before our family ever needed it.
Someone helped invest in the science that was there for my niece. Now I want to help do the same for the next child and the next family.
That is why I’m proud to support the American Heart Association’s 2026 Leaders of Impact campaign alongside my sister and our family.
I’m asking my friends, family, colleagues, and community to join me. Every donation, no matter the amount, helps support lifesaving cardiovascular research, education, and programs that can give more families the chance for healthier tomorrows.
If you’re able, please click the Donate button and make a gift to my campaign. And if you can’t donate, sharing my page is another meaningful way to help.
Together, we can help create a future where more children, parents, and families get the answers, treatments, and hope they need.
I’m doing this for my niece, and for every heart that comes next.
Fundraising is open September 17 at 9:00 AM through November 4 at 9:00 PM.
