We all know someone who has had heart issues. For me, my dad, my uncles, aunties, friends, and most recently, my grandson, Ryan Alexander (RJ). He was born on 1/18/25 with TGA (Transposition of the Great Arteries). It is a heart defect where the aorta and pulmonary artery, the two main blood vessels leaving the heart, are switched in position. With this defect, it prevents teh body from sufficiently oxygenated blood. He is currently under care at Rady's Children's Hospital in San Diego. Please help me save lives with the American Heart Association!
I'm participating in my school's Kids Heart Challenge and raising funds to help everyone have healthy hearts. 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!
Thank you!
