I walk for my daughter Lilly who was born with a CHD called tetralogy of fallot.

I learned about Lilly's diagnosis while I was pregnant with her. As you can imagine, our initial reaction was shock, fear and worry how this would affect her quality of life. We also learned that she would eventually need open heart surgery between 4-6 months of life to repair her defect.

At 4.5 months, she had a successful repair performed and we are so thankful for her amazing surgical team.

This isn't the end of her journey. She will need another surgery later in life, and the AHA helps fund research that can help make Lilly's future brighter than ever.

With your help, we can help fund research that will identify advances to treating Lilly's defect and other heart conditions that exist.

Thank you for your support!
