I was born with a congenital heart disease. I've had a few open heart surgeries as a kid and at 31. I came across Camp Del Corazon sitting in a patient room at Cedar-Sinai following my last surgery. I saw the flyer and thought the concept of a camp for kids with congenital heart disease was so cool. I wish something like this existed when I was a kid. But now I'm here to bring awareness to such a wonderful cause! Please consider donating! 
 

Begun in 1995 by a pediatric cardiologist and a cardiovascular nurse, Camp del Corazon provides a free-of-charge residential summer camp on Catalina Island off the coast of California to 300+ kids (ages 7-17) living with congenital heart disease. Over the past 30 years, Camp del Corazon has grown to include year round programming, including virtual camp, an educational symposium for heart families, and a young adult program (ages 18-25) to support former campers as they transition to adulthood and take ownership of their health. BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE! Camp is more than all these awesome programs, camp is a FEELING! Camp has become a community and a FAMILY to so many kids and families who thought they were alone. 

And now, Camp has become MY family! Camp means so much to me. I want to make sure that Camp continues to provide a community and family for future generations of heart kids and families. Will you help me? You can join my team, make a donation, share the link to this page on social media, or come volunteer at FamFest on October 25 and be part of the camp magic! Thanks for helping to raise awareness and funds for this organization that is so close to my heart.
