I was born with a congenital heart defect called a coarctation of the aorta. When I was 5 years old the defect was diagnosed and surgically repaired. Today I'm grateful that my repaired heart allows me to go on adventures running, hiking, and climbing that wouldn't have possible without treatment.

Please consider making a tax deductible contribution to support my fundraising efforts for the Adult Congenital Heart Association. All funds raised benefit CHD research and programs.
