Why I walk?
Join me in my efforts to support a mission near and dear to my heart!
My niece Alexa, 18 years old now, was born with a congenital heart defect called HypoPlastic Right Heart Syndrome. Like many kids with CHD, Alexa's journey is nothing short of long, complicated and ongoing... 3 open heart surgeries, multiple heart catherizations, trial and error treatment plans, and more...
Being involved with the American Heart Association has meant so much for my family and I and has provided our family a platform to share Alexa's story and feel heard. The AHA has funded research that directly impacted my niece's journey in so many ways, and continues to do so. Thanks to excellent medical care and continued research funded by the AHA, our family finds hope and positivity in what is possible with Alexa's care.
The AHA's mission impacts all of us and our family and friends can live longer lives and create more memories because of the work they do!
