Year six, let's do this! It is because of Children's, its staff and their particular care that I am able to participate in the Heartbeat 5000 each year!
For those that don't know, I was diagnosed with two congenital heart defects in 1987. At five months old, I had open heart surgery to repair them and I remained a patient at Children's well into my adult life; frequenting Children's for check up's and tests. I was issued a clean bill of health in 2010, shortly before the retirement of my life-long pediatric cardiologist, Dr. Amarjit Singh.
I look forward to this event as a way to give back to an organization that has done so much for me, and our support means Children's and the Heart Clinic can continue to do great things for many others!
