Have a Heart \u2764 Walk with Us!
This October, our family is lacing up our sneakers and hitting the pavement for something deeply personal - the 2026 First Coast Heart Walk with the American Heart Association. And leading the charge?
Finley. My brave, resilient, heart warrior.
At just 2 days old, Finley was diagnosed with a Small Restrictive Supracristal Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD). In August 2021, he underwent open-heart surgery to repair the VSD on his aortic valve. Since then, he's shown us what true courage looks like - facing recovery with strength, spirit, and that signature Finley smile.
We walk not just for Finley, but for his Aunt Jaime, who passed away in 2020 due to heart failure, and for the millions of families impacted by heart disease and stroke every year. Because we believe that every step matters - and every heartbeat is worth fighting for.
For the third year in a row, Finley has his own team: Finley's Special Heart Team - and he's not only raising funds, he's training for the full 3-mile walk!
"I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives!!"
