My family and I have been a part of CCF's Walk for a Cure for the past 5 years in the hope of raising awareness about cardiomyopathy as well as raise money to hopefully find a cure for this chronic and potentially-threatening heart disease.  I was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy when I was 6 months old.  While my initial diagnosis indicated that I would need a heart transplant by the age of 3, I thankfully did not need one as my heart function improved over time with a regimen of medication.  I am happy to report that I am now only on one type of medication.

I hope you will join me and Team Anna's Bananas as I walk to support children with cardiomyopathy and their families. Please support my walk efforts and help me meet my fundraising goal. All walk proceeds will go towards funding CCF's Family Assistance Program and family support services. Your support means a great deal as this is a cause that is meaningful to me.

The Children's Cardiomyopathy Foundation (CCF) is a national 501(c)(3) organization focused on accelerating the search for causes and cures for pediatric cardiomyopathy. Since 2002, CCF has grown into a global community of families, physicians, and scientists dedicated to improving diagnosis, treatments, and quality of life for children with cardiomyopathy.
