When I was 2 1/2 years old, and my dad was 35, he had emergency open-heart surgery.
My mom was 8 1/2 months pregnant with my little brother, Charlie.
We made it through that challenging time together. And today, my dad’s heart is strong enough to play all of my favorite sports with me.
I’ve joined my school’s Kids Heart Challenge to raise funds to help everyone have healthy hearts.
And I’m also learning things like how to keep my own heart, brain and lungs strong, how to save a life with Hands-Only CPR, the warning signs of a stroke and ways to de-stress.
I’m really excited and hope you will help me save lives by donating…so other dads, like mine, can watch their kids grow up, too.
Love,
Will
