The Children's Heart Foundation is hosting one of its 33 heart walks in Gilbert to raise awareness for what the CDC says is the most common type of defects in newborns.
The Children's Heart Foundation will host its first Congenital Heart Walk in Gilbert this Saturday. According to the CDC, heart defects are the most common types of birth defects. "My baby's name is Daphne. She lived for nine days and she had multiple heart defects, one of them being hypoplastic left heart syndrome," says Vanessa Orhuela. Her most recent pregnancy wasn't like the last three. Several tests led to results she could never imagine.
" That's when Vanessa had to make the hardest decision of her life. She took Daphne off life support. "I don't want another family to have to go through what we've been through with no explanation, just you were handed this and there's nothing," Orhuela said. Her daughter's short life is the reason she will speak at the first Congenital Heart Walk in Gilbert with her family by her side. "This walk is important to me because people need to know about it.
