Can an unexpected adventure in Kraków teach you about resilience and support? Join me, Anna Jaworski, as I recount a thrilling axe-throwing escapade with my husband, Frank, which became an unexpected metaphor for our family's journey with our courageous daughter, Hope, who battles a congenital heart defect. In this episode of Heart to Heart with Anna, we spotlight the power of belief and community support, drawing parallels between personal adventures and the challenges of raising a child with CHD. Dive into the exciting plans for Heart Month, where Mended Little Hearts takes center stage with the "Rock your Scar" photo contest and the "Share your HeArt" art competition, igniting awareness and solidarity within the CHD community.

Our journey doesn't stop there. Reflecting on the Top Ten Episodes of 2024, discover the inspiring stories of resilience and advocacy from amazing individuals. Hear about Hope's passion for writing and the unwavering strength of heart moms like Rita Scoggins. Be inspired by advocates such as Deanna Altomara and Meagan Houpt, who continue to break barriers. Celebrate fitness and perseverance with Ben Johnson's triumph over tetralogy of Fallot, and witness Marina Lohri's transformation from survivor to heart community supporter.
