In other news, I've had the privilege of speaking with some amazing members of the cardiology team at Boston Children’s Hospital, some of whom were instrumental in saving my life. I feel incredibly honored to reconnect with them and to receive such positive support for sharing this story about living with a congenital heart defect.

We're so close to reaching our $70,000 goal! Please continue to share the campaign with friends, family, and anyone who might be interested in getting involved. Thank you so much for all your support!
