Heart Defect Research Fund

I was born with Multiple Congenital Anomalies. This would include 2 Heart Defects, Lung Defects, and Spinal defects. As more and more adults, and children become angels because of their Heart Defects, I think it is important to fund more research. To find out the why this happens, to how to mend/fix/repair, and prevent them from happening. Maybe some day babies will be born without any defects.
Half of the monies raised will go towards CHP research and half to PAH-CHD research at Presby.

CHP has a Foundation office,

and Presby a Development office.
UPMC has a Cardiovascular Institute, Vascular Medicine Institute, and a Heart and Vascular Institute.

To encourage donations, i am creating a Heart Quilt. Donor names will be put into a random name generator and if i reach my goal, someone will be gifted the quilt.
Sorry, but because of all the fees, the minimum donation for the drawing would be $4.99.
THANK YOU ALL !!!
