I am a survivor of CHD. I was born in 1961 with tetralogy of Fallot. I have had a total of 6 heart surgeries with the last one in 2019. I was blessed with each step of my journey in being treated by the best team of doctors and nurses. I want each child faced with the same journey to have all of the resources I had.
My goal is to walk for all children born with CHD. ❤️
