I was born with a congenital heart defect called Tetralogy of Fallot and had open-heart surgery at just 11 months old. Thanks to continued research and innovation funded by the American Heart Association, I recently received a life-changing pulmonary valve replacement using cutting-edge technology. I'm walking not only for myself-but for every family affected by heart disease. This cause is personal, and I'm honored to give back and help advance the next breakthrough for someone else.
