Kaylin was born March 15, 2012. At 3 weeks old, she was diagnosed with a Congenital Heart Defect called Tetralogy of Fallot - essentially she had 4 defects that needed correcting to make her heart work correctly. She was rushed to the hospital and underwent life saving open heart surgery at 3 weeks old, In December of 2012, at 9 months, Kaylin had a procedure done to check her heart and we were told she would need another surgery soon. Likely January or February. Unfortunately, 2 days later, Kaylin would pass due to complications from her heart defect. 

In the 9 months Kaylin was with us, she did big things. She set in to motion a monumental change in the community and her family. Laws were changed partly due to her story. Families advocated for themselves and their newborns after hearing  her story. She changed lives and saved lives. 

We walk to honor her memory.
