Macy's Story: At our daughter's 16 week ultrasound, she learned our future granddaughter's heart was unique. From then until 37 weeks pregnant, she endured many appointments and testing before Macy's arrival with an unknown future. May 24, 2023, MACY arrived... purple and blue, and with no cries. She was immediately rushed to NICU and diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot with Pulmonary Atresia with Ventricular Septal Defect. 16 days later, Macy had open heart surgery at Helen DeVos Children's Hospital. At 55 days young, Macy went home for the first time! Days before her 2nd Birthday, May of 2025, Macy had her 2nd open heart surgery, which led to a 3rd emergency surgery later that day. Thankfully, all these procedures have gotten Macy to an amazing and THRIVING year. Macy's resilience and fight for life is the most inspiring event I have ever experienced. If you know her, you understand. She lights up every room and is a true Blessing in our family, even with all her 3 year old Sass!

I want to express my heartfelt thanks for taking a moment to visit my fundraising page.

This year, I'm walking with extra purpose as The Children's Heart Foundation celebrates 30 incredible years of funding research that saves lives and changes futures. My commitment to making a difference has led me to participate in the Congenital Heart Walk, an event that carries immense significance for me—especially knowing that for three decades, CHF has been the leading force behind the treatments and surgical advances that help children with congenital heart defects thrive.

It's not just a walk; it's a stride toward the next 30 years of hope. This endeavor is all about supporting The Children's Heart Foundation's crucial mission—advancing the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of congenital heart defects through groundbreaking research that improves survival rates, reduces complications, and helps Heart Warriors celebrate more birthdays than ever before.

I warmly invite you to become a part of this milestone journey by supporting my fundraising efforts. Together, we can raise the funds essential to continue the life-saving research that turns heartbreak into hope. Your contribution holds immeasurable value to me and to every family who needs CHF's support.

Thank you for your generosity, and for standing beside me in this mission. Your support means the world.
