Meet one of our very own Heart Warriors! Emma B.
Emma is one of St. Charles’ own brave heart warriors! Em was born with a ventricular septal defect, a hole between 2 chambers of her heart. When she was 3 years old, she had open heart surgery to close the hole so that her heart could function properly. Because of the amazing doctors and nurses at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and funding for research raised by organizations including the American Heart Association. Emma is now a healthy 5 year old who loves school, running, and dancing!
