2025 was a terrible year for my family for one reason, and only one reason.
That was the year my older brother died from a sudden heart attack.
Now, a year later, I want to give back in some way. I've decided to raise money for the Children's Heart Foundation so that parents around the country won't have to go through what my family did. That's really all there is to it: loss and a desire to do something good in answer.
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.
