Thank you for visiting our team page! Every 15 minutes, a baby in this country is born with a congenital heart defect, making CHDs America's most common birth defect. The Congenital Heart Walk is dedicated to raising funds to support The Children's Heart Foundation's mission: to advance the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of CHDs by funding the most promising research.
Our heart warrior Melody had her very first life saving procedure at just 4 days old. Since then Melody has had 7 heart caths and 1 open heart surgery. Melody will continue to require cardiac appointments and eventually more procedures. We are thankful for the medical Advancemenrs made possible by research funding.
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.
