In 2019, our son Milo was born with a single-ventricle heart defect, "half-a-heart." Milo had two open heart surgeries in the first year of his life - the Norwood and the Glenn. In the next year Milo will need a third heart surgery - the Fontan. Although these surgeries have saved his life, they are not a cure. Milo lives with low oxygen levels and his upcoming Fontan circulation has many negative side effects including Fontan Associated Liver Disease and heart failure. Eventually, people living with single-ventricle heart disease will need heart transplantation.

We are Team Wonderheart because every day we experience so much wonder at Milo's life and the lives of those fighting alongside him. And, we wonder what the future will hold, both for Milo, for his heart friends, and for the future of CHD research and advancements. We have hope that with funded CHD research, new treatment options will be available to Milo when he needs them.

Will you join us? By supporting our team or joining us in our walk, you're supporting research that will help save and improve the lives of babies born, and children and adults living, with CHDs. Thank you!
