We are participating in the American Heart Association’s Start! Heart Walk in memory of our son, Gabriel. He was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, a rare and serious congenital heart defect. He was four months old when he died on New Year’s Eve from complications after his second open heart surgery.
In the US alone, about 36,000 children are born with a heart defect each year. That’s roughly four babies every hour of every day. Sadly, approximately 4,000 of those children don’t live to see their first birthday, just like Gabriel.
The Legacy of Life is the American Heart Association’s Endowment Fund for congenital heart defect research. It provides a perpetual funding source for Congenital Heart Defect (CHD) research.
Please help us support this cause by making a donation to the AHA’s “Legacy of Life”. In order for your pledge to go directly to LoL, be sure to write “Legacy of Life” in the check memo line.
ALL OF OUR TEAM’S DONATIONS ARE AUTOMATICALLY FLAGGED FOR LEGACY OF LIFE!! MAKE YOUR DONATION ONLINE TODAY!! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!
You are invited to join our team, Mommas Of Moonbeams, as we participate in this year’s Lorain County Heart Walk on May 12 at Avon Commons.
You don’t have to be a Momma to walk with us! Everyone is welcome!
We have a TEAM goal of $1000 for the AHA “Legacy of Life” Endowment Fund this year.
Won’t you please help us meet – or beat! – our goal?
