Kayleigh is a fun-loving determined 16-year-old girl. She is a daughter, sister, (an amazing) niece, cousin, and granddaughter. Her passion is and always has been softball, she has played since t-ball. She has been on the same travel team since the team started. She now plays for The Mexico High School girls softball team on JV and Varsity as well as continuing to play for the travel league, The Lunachix. This past year she has experienced some health issues which have recently become increasingly concerning. While playing for her school she had two episodes that landed her in the back of an ambulance, one causing EMS to have to stop and restart her heart to get things under control. We have recently been told she has SVT and will need surgery to correct this, which will hopefully let her live out her dream of one day playing for OSU.

SVT means Kayleigh has extra electricity going through her heart which will sporadically cause her heart to accelerate and beat at 200 beats per minute at times.

*The surgery needed: (in layman's terms) They will go in and burn different parts of her heart, creating scars, to keep these random electric impulses from making her heart beat too fast and work too hard. As of now, there is no date. She will go to STL to meet with her heart surgeon, to go over all information and schedule surgery, in the coming week.

The medical bills have been, and will continue to, build, and if there is anything any one of you can do to help it will be greatly appreciated. Also, we ask for prayers, positive thoughts, and good vibes as Kayleigh continues this journey and through the healing and recovering process so she can hopefully one day get back out on that softball field then we can all watch her live out her dream of playing for OSU!

Kayleigh and her family thank everyone for your support and for being with us through this journey!
