This is for our boys! For those who don't already know, Evyn was born with Pulmonary Stenosis. To date, he has not had to have any procedures YET! Just monitoring, echoes and ekgs every 6 months. Because of his stenosis, Tavish's Bicuspid Aortic Stenosis was detected through a fetal echo. When he was 4 days old, he had his first cath ballooning procedure. He had his 2nd cath ballooning at 4 months old. At 11 months old, after both procedures failed, he underwent open heart surgery where the Ross Procedure was performed. Along with Evyn, he goes every 6 months for monitoring, echoes and ekgs.
Our team is walking with purpose this year—celebrating 30 incredible years of The Children's Heart Foundation funding research that saves lives! 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. For three decades, CHF has been the driving force behind the treatments and surgical advances that have transformed survival rates and given countless children with CHD the chance to thrive.
The Congenital Heart Walk is dedicated to making this impact continue. Our mission is clear—we aim to raise funds to support The Children's Heart Foundation's quest to advance the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of CHDs by funding groundbreaking research that improves outcomes, reduces complications, and helps Heart Warriors live longer, healthier lives.
We invite you to join our team in honoring this legacy. By supporting our team or 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. Together, we're part of a 30-year story of hope—and we're writing the next chapter. 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 together celebrates how far we've come and funds the miracles still ahead.
