I am excited and honored to be running in support of The Children's Heart Foundation in honor of my heart warrior Elias! ❤️

Elias was born with the heart defect VSD. It wasn't detected until he was one month old, so he had a pretty rough start. It wasn't long until we realized that the best treatment for him was surgery. At almost three months old, Elias underwent open heart surgery. We are so thankful for his care team and a successful procedure! Right away he looked so much better, healthier, and stronger! He hasn't stopped growing since, and is now a big and strong five year old! We are thankful every day for the research and medical care that helped make our sweet boy better!
