Meet Lily! Lily was diagnosed with a host of cardiac issues including Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, PDA, Levocardia, and right-side ascending aorta. In 2014 she received her "hero's heart" transplant, and is now out running 5Ks! #StillPumping #HeartNetwork

Meet Thaddaeus (which means courageous heart!)! Thadd has a complex single ventricle heart, and according to his surgeon a “very unfortunate combination of CHD’s. He's waiting for his arteries to grow more to be eligible for another palliative surgery. #StillPumping #HeartNetwork

Meet our founder Gary Kellenberger! He had 3 heart surgeries by the age of 4, and in 2016 had surgery to replace his Saint Jude's Mitral Valve. He started this organization to grow a support system for those who are going through the difficulties of cardiac issues. #stillpumping
