Join #TeamElias for the Annual Heart Walk at Balboa Park!
We’re walking in honor of our brave little heart warrior, Elias, and we’d love for you to join us. Funds raised through the Heart Walk help support life-saving research, CPR training, and education to prevent and treat heart conditions.
Elias was diagnosed with D-Transposition of the Great Arteries (D-TGA) and a very small Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) — a congenital heart defect where the two main arteries leaving the heart are reversed, and a tiny hole exists between the lower chambers. At just a few days old, Elias underwent open-heart surgery to correct the TGA. Thanks to early detection, advanced medical technology, and a dedicated team of doctors and nurses, we were prepared and ready to face his heart journey head-on.
Now we walk—for Elias and for every heart kid who needs hope. Join #TeamElias and help us make a difference, one step at a time. ❤
