American Heart Association Heart Disease Survivor, Finn
Finn continues to persevere after 17 procedures and two open heart surgeries. It’s personal to his mom, who says he would not be here without the help of the American Heart Association.
Survivor Spotlight: Finn
While pregnant, Finn’s mom learned he had a heart issue.
“To be honest I can’t even see Finn getting past birth without the American Heart Association.”
Finn would need multiple surgeries in order to survive.
“Without the American Heart Association, he would not be here.”
His treatment plan was based on research funded by the AHA.
“Donations lead to lifesaving research, that leads to medical breakthroughs, that save lives like my son’s.”
