Help the Baby Beats - Boston Heart Walk - Sep 15
From the Amante Family:
Welcome to the fundraising page for team Baby Beats. We have been raising money for the Heart Association since 2002! Just two weeks after Damian's third open heart surgery we attended our first Heart Walk in New York.
Funds donated to the Heart Association go toward life saving research, techniques and equipment.
Damian has directly benefited from projects that were funded by the Heart Association.
We celebrate Damian and the victory over his struggles by raising money to support this important organization.
Please support our team by donating to the Heart Association! Thank you!
You can find the fund raising page here
