Thank you so much for taking a moment to visit my fundraising page.

As a heart mom, this cause is deeply personal to me. My journey has been one of faith, tears, hope, and countless prayers. Walking through the world of congenital heart defects with my daughter has shown me both the fragility of life and the incredible strength God gives in the face of uncertainty.

That’s why I’m participating in the Congenital Heart Walk—not just as a mother, but as a believer in God’s power to bring healing, purpose, and hope; even in our hardest moments. This walk isn’t just a fundraiser. It’s an act of love. A step of faith. A testimony to the strength of every heart warrior and their families.

I'm raising funds to support The Children’s Heart Foundation, whose mission is to advance the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of congenital heart defects through life-saving research. Their work gives families like mine real hope and tangible help.

I humbly and warmly invite you to walk with me. Whether through a donation, a prayer, or simply sharing this mission with others. You can join my team if you would like to physically walk with me as well. Your support means more than words can express.It reminds me that we are not alone—that the body of Christ walks together in both sorrow and in joy.

Thank you for standing beside me. Thank you for helping us carry this cross with courage and faith. May God be glorified! 

With love and gratitude,
Athena Hughes
