Believe In Your Heart Foundation
Our mission is to fund congenital heart defect (CHD) research, support heart warriors and their families, and spread CHD awareness. Congenital heart defects are the most common birth defect in the United States- 1 in 100 babies born have a CHD. Though CHD is life threatening and prevalent, research is heavily unfunded. We hope to fund life saving research for all kids fighting CHD! Our precious son Eli has inspired us to do this by his current courageous fight with multiple CHDs.
The fight for excellence in pediatric cancer treatment is important, but no less important is the commitment we must make to support the families that strive for fulfilling and complete lives during and after treatment. Though treatment may end, and illness may be cured or managed, the long-term effects of factors like internal group tension, familial isolation, post-traumatic stress, the anxiety of recurrence, and the emotional, physical and financial toll on the family unit often linger for years, yes years, to come. While the importance of quality healthcare is a common shared value, we must remember to offer families a holistic, uncompromising, fighting chance at well-being, which is our urgent, passionate mission.
