The photo below is of me and Bella, my baby sister—we’re both healthy and grateful for that. I know not every family gets that same peace of mind, which is why I’ve chosen to take action and help kids who are facing heart conditions.
The photos are from about eight years ago; my name is Peyton Baker, and I’m 15 years old. Heart disease and cancer have affected several people in my family, so this cause is very personal to me. Seeing the impact these diseases can has made me want to do something that could help other families facing the same struggles.
I started this fundraiser because I believe even a small contribution can help support prevention, research, and a healthier future for children and families. Any donation would mean a lot, and I truly appreciate everyone who takes the time to support this cause.
The Children's Heart Foundation was founded in 1996 and is the country's leading organization solely dedicated to funding congenital heart defect (CHD) research.
Our mission is to advance the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of congenital heart defects by funding the most promising research.
