On Saturday, October 12th, Team Little Heart Heroes showed up at the American Heart Association Heart Walk in full force! We had around 70 people walking with us to show their support for Nadia, Cain, and Colby.
Thank you to everyone who came out and walked with us. The Heart Walk is a very special day for our family. It is a day to honor Colby and his heart. It is a day to reflect on all that he's been through in his short life. It is a day to celebrate how well he is doing, despite living with only half of a heart. It is a day to celebrate with other heart survivors, young and old. It is a day to remember all of those that lost their battles with heart disease way too soon. It is a day to pray that the funds donated to the walk will be used for heart research that will make some huge advancements in the treatments of heart disease. The Heart Walk is definitely a special and fun day, and we truly appreciate you taking time out of your Saturday to join us.
Each year, we are blown away by the generosity of friends, family, and acquaintances, and this year was no different! An amazing $4,220 was donated in honor of Colby! This, along with the donations made in honor of Nadia and Cain, brought Team Little Heart Heroes donation total to $8,475!!!! We are humbled by your continued support of Colby and our family, and we thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
We also want to thank Ryan and Shelly Calonge with Richards and Southern for printing our Little Heart Heroes shirts again this year. They looked great! We really appreciate the Calonges and their friendship!
