My Story

7 years ago I gave birth to my wonderful son Andy, immediately upon his arrival he turned blue after trying to breathe. Later that day it was discovered he had a congenital heart defect called Total Anomalos Pulmonary Venous Return (TAPVR). A day after his birth he was in open heart surgery and then again 3 months later for a redo of the surgey. I am so thankful for the doctors, nurses, and medical staff that helped save Andy's life. I am also incredibly thankful for the research that has gone into heart defects and the technology and medical advancements that have made it possible for kids to live a healthy thriving life. Thank you for joining me in raising funds to continue the research for the next generation.
