A little bit about our story. 
Oaklee was diagnosed with HLHS during a check-up  at 20 weeks. We were then referred to OU Children's Hospital, who revealed additional challenges including Single Ventricle, Mitral Atresia, Interrupted Aortic Arch, large VSD, and obstructed Tapvr. Despite the possibility of heart surgery, Oaklee's weak lungs led us to opt for palliative care. Oaklee lived 9 days whenever she was not expected to make it past delivery. 

Every 15 minutes in the United States, a baby is born with a congenital heart defect, making CHDs the most common birth defect in our country. The Congenital Heart Walk is dedicated to making a difference. Our mission is clear - we aim to raise funds to support The Children's Heart Foundation in its quest to advance the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of CHDs by funding groundbreaking research.

We invite you to join us in this mission. By supporting our team or even walking with us, you're contributing to research that can save and enhance the lives of infants born with CHDs, as well as children and adults living with these conditions. Your support makes a significant impact, and for that, we want to say a heartfelt thank you.

Will you join us in making a real difference? Please consider supporting our team or walking with us. Every step we take brings us closer to improving the lives of those affected by congenital heart defects.
