Run for LITTLE Hearts is a 5k walk/run event on Sunday, May 1st in Lee's Summit. I have started a team to show support for Lydia and help raise awareness for CHD.
Congenital Heart Defects are among the most common birth defects and are the leading cause of birth defect related deaths. Run for LITTLE hearts is a local organization that supports hundreds of families in the metro area affected by CHD. They provide funding for an inpatient fund at Children's Mercy, care packages for children undergoing open heart surgery, support meetings for parents and more.
Lydia was diagnosed in utero with a CHD. She had surgery at 11 days old to repair an interrupted aortic arch, VSD and ASD. She had a second surgery at 8 months and 18 days old to repair subaortic stenosis.
Please join us as a virtual or an in person participant on Sunday, May 1st. Lydia's team name is Love 4 Lydia and we have over 40 participants signed up. Help us spread awareness about CHD and come have a good time or run virtually from your couch!
