Bella's Heart

This June, I'll Be making a pledge to stand up to congenital heart disease (CHD) in Australia and improving the lives and futures of those affected by this terrible disease - Join me to help HeartKids raise funds to support children with heart disease and their families.
Its been a couple of years since ive participated in fundraising for HeartKids.
My daughter Bella just turned 11, as we all know Bella was born with major heart defects. Interrupted aortic heart, major vsd, aswell as needing a few Stenosis surgeries. You would never know by being around her that she's had over 9 surgeries in her life. Four of them being so complicated they had to do bypass.
What alot of you don't know though that stopping her heart and doing these type of surgeries puts alot of stress on their tiny bodies, they can get clots, fluid on their lungs and brain damage. When they are so young, we were told that she would regress, forget things. But you are not prepared when they wake up and forget who they are, who you are, how to eat or even walk. It can take weeks to months to get back to "normal". Bella has over come alot and still has another heart surgery in the future.
Kid's like Bella are Heros, Bella is a Hero, Dr Cooper pediatric cardiologist is a hero, Surgeon Ian Nicholson is a Hero. All the Nurses and staff of westmead children's hospital are Heros. Heartkids for helping families through some of the toughest moments of their lives and trying to make heart kids lives just a little brighter are Heros.
So please donate what you can or share. I'm starting at $1000 as a fundraising goal and we will see how far we can get.
Many thanks 😊
