Wade came into the world looking perfect but hidden inside his tiny chest was a heart already fighting a battle no one knew existed. Within hours of life, he was diagnosed with critical aortic stenosis, and at just one day old, Wade underwent an emergency cardiac catheterization to save his life. Before most babies ever leave the hospital, Wade was already proving how strong he was.

At only one month old, Wade faced open-heart surgery and underwent the complex Ross?Konno procedure. Surrounded by machines, wires, and prayers, this tiny fighter endured more in his first weeks than most face in a lifetime. Today, Wade continues his journey living with severe mitral regurgitation and the early stages of heart failure?a diagnosis that means constant monitoring, uncertainty, and courage beyond words.

This campaign exists because Wade?s fight is far from over. It exists to support his ongoing medical care, to ease the weight carried by a family who never expected this road, and to raise awareness for congenital heart disease. Wade?s heart may be small, but his fight is enormous?and with your support, he won?t face it alone.
