Ellie's Story

For my 30th birthday, I am fundraising in memory of my beautiful little cousin, Ellie, who was born with a congenital heart defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS).

Ellie was the sweetest, happiest little girl with the biggest smile. From the very beginning, she showed incredible strength and was a true fighter. 

On December 5, 2025, Ellie went into the arms of Jesus at just two years old. Her love for butterflies will always remind us that even the smallest lives can leave the biggest impact.

I am raising money for The Children’s Heart Foundation in Ellie’s honor to help support research for children born with congenital heart defects and to give future Heart Warriors the hope and chance at a healthier life.

Please consider donating and helping us keep her beautiful legacy flying high.

Fly high, sweet Ellie. You will always be loved and never forgotten.
