I walk because I know that with every step, I am saving lives.
Little Dottie B was born unpexpectedly with transposition of the great arteries, one of the most common heart defects. Thanks to an amazing and fast responding team at Lurie Children’s she was able to get a life saving surgery within an hour of being born and full open heart surgery on day 6. While it was the scariest few weeks of our lives, we are so grateful to have access to life saving surgeries like hers.
At 4 months old, she is thriving and living her best life - she loves to smile, go on walks, take baths, pet Findlay, play with her teething toys, and tagalong to all of mom and dad’s adventures.
Your donation will fund groundbreaking research that literally keeps hearts beating and helps people like Dottie have longer, healthier lives.
