Red Clay, Please add "Wear Red for CHD Awareness and Support" on February 11th to school calendar!
Congenital heart defects are the #1 cause of birth defect related deaths. Congenital heart defects are the leading cause of all infant deaths in the United States. Each year approximately 40,000 babies are born in the United States with a congenital heart defect. Thousands of them will not reach their first birthday and thousands more die before they reach adulthood. Each year over 1,000,000 babies are born worldwide with a congenital heart defect. 100,000 of them will not live to see their first birthday and thousands more die before they reach adulthood.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and sign, please share so we can make this happen. Much love..

Matteo is currently busy finalizing his letter to the principal. Watching him turn this grief into action shows just how much this matters.

My niece had her first heart surgery at 3 days old and she is 10 now. This is such a great idea for the schools to do. Keep it up!
My son Jordan was born with TGA. Without heart surgery he would not be here today. Jordan will be 7 on March 29, 2014. I love him to pieces...he's a a Warrior! :)
Excellent!! we are going to do the same at my daughters school. My baby girl was born with undisguised TGA in march last year, nearly loft her.x
Jesse gattts was my cousin he was 13 years old when he passed and now he's stronger than ever!
