Congenital Heart Walk 2012

This time of the year there are a lots of "walk to raise awareness" and as well as fundraising events. Since my son is born with the heart defect I am more likely to raise awareness with the group of people who have the same passion as mine. Raise awareness of the CHD or Congenital Heart Disease. Every year we join the walk. I also joined the fundraising campaign towards the ACHA a few years ago.
The walk was held at the Tempe Diablo Stadium. I think this will be the third year that ACHA and other affiliates hosted this event. I think there are more people joined us this year to raise CHD awareness. I'm glad that my family (except my husband @ work) was able to go to this event this year since it was hard to control three younger children ( at least for me). So, I asked my friend Rose if she could help me with one of my kid at the walk. It was so nice of her that she could help me. My children had different agenda than mine once they saw all those inflatable bouncer. One would like to go to the slide and the other one just in the bounce and the other one love to walk around the field and expecting me to chase her. Overall, we had fun at the heart walk!
Here are some great photo at the event.

CHD Awareness Week!

Today is the start of Congenital Heart Defect (CHD) Awareness Week. One in 100 babies are born with Congenital Heart Defects every year! My son is one of them out of 100 babies that year born with a rare heart defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. He had his very first open heart surgery at 7 days old. He had numerous heart caths and four open heart surgeries and few other side effects. He overcome all of that and right now he is "stable". He very active and he never stops! 
Please help us spread CHD Awareness!
I thank God for saving my son's life and thank you Jesus for everything!
