It is our family's mission to raise money for research on CHDs, research that drives medical advancements, medical advancements that saved Conrad's life.
Every 15 minutes, a baby in this country is born with a congenital heart defect, making CHDs America's most common birth defect. The Congenital Heart Walk is dedicated to raising funds to support The Children's Heart Foundation's mission: to advance the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of CHDs by funding the most promising research.
Your support will help fund research to save and improve the lives of babies born, and children and adults living, with CHDs.
We learn the extent of Conrad's heart defects: Coarctation of the Aorta, Atrial Septal Defect, Ventricular Septal Defect. Surgery is imminent, as unbeknownst to us, he is already in heart failure(lack of energy to feed, lethargy, excessive sweating, cool to the touch, and dusky appearance)
