THE "HEALTHY HEARTS TEAM"
Approximately 40,000 babies are born each year in the United States with a Congenital Heart Defect (CHD).
That equates to 1 out of 125 babies. It is the #1 birth defect yet many are not aware of this condition.
We have formed a running team for the Rock n' Roll Marathon in Washington, D.C. on March 16, 2013 to raise funds for an organization that is involved in educating the public about CHD.
All funds raised will be donated to the Little Hearts, Inc. organization in memory of Matthew Olson. Matt is the brother of Dena Gillis, our
team's co-captain. He passed away in 2010 due to an undetected congenital heart defect at the age of 33.
