2026 Central Virginia Heart Walk
Rayden
We are walking in loving memory of Rayden "Bubba" Lee Dent, the beloved son of Cachat (Chay) Jeter and Raymond L. Dent.
At 22 weeks, we were told that Rayden had Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS). He also faced Double Outlet Right Ventricle (DORV), Mitral Stenosis (MS), Aortic Stenosis (AS), Subaortic Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD), and Isthmus Hypoplasia.
Rayden was born on May 06, 2021. He loved Elmo and was a happy little baby in the hospital for the majority of his little life. He had about 9 open heart surgeries, went under cardiac arrest, he pulled through showing strength and courage throughout his journey. Although his time with us was very short, the love he gave and the impact he made will never be forgotten. Rayden passed away on July 24, 2022 from cardiogenic shock, complex congenital heart disease, renal failure, and respiratory failure.
Today we walk to honor our Heart Angel, Rayden, celebrating his little life and others, to help raise awareness, and to support the fight against Heart Disease and Stroke.
Come walk with us, donate, and show your support! Every step and contribution makes a difference.
Sincerely,
Chay
