Hey everyone! I wanted to let everyone know here that the week of Feb. 7-14th is national CHD awareness Week. CHD stands for Congenital Heart Defect, which is a condition babies are born with where they have a deformed heart in someway. I have a form of CHD called Hypo Plastic Right, my heart is on the right side of me body, I have two holes in it and I only have half of it. This condition limits me to a lot of things, I can't do much physical activities, I can't go do wild crazy things, I can't even ride a roller coaster. But with this condition brings a lot of different opportunities. 1 out of every 100 babies are born with a form of CHD, and many don't make it to adulthood, I myself was told I won't, but I'm still fighting as long as I can. Throughout this week everyone is invited to wear red in honor of CHD, and I would like to invite anyone would like to and help spread awareness. Thanks everyone! Happy February!
