Emilia’s journey is the heart behind everything we do. She was diagnosed in utero with congenital heart disease and has already faced multiple surgeries, procedures, and countless hospital days — yet she continues to meet the world with creativity, joy, and a spirit that refuses to dim.

Her strength reminds us daily why CHD awareness, research, and support matter. CHD is the most common birth defect, and families like ours rely on continued advancements in care, early detection, and long‑term support.

We walk, advocate, and share her story because every child with CHD deserves the chance to thrive just like she does. Emilia is our reason why — and our reminder that hope, resilience, and community make all the difference.
