Noah
was born with a congenital heart defect known as
Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS). This
means that the left side of his heart was not
developed correctly. In the short span of his
lifetime, Noah has courageously undergone three
separate open heart surgeries to reconstruct his
tiny heart. Information on Hypoplastic Left
Heart Syndrome can be found here:

Noah needs to undergo a HEART TRANSPLANT
immediately. Noah is not getting enough oxygen,
resulting in his brain telling his body to
produce red blood cells to carry oxygen
throughout his body. This is causing his blood
to thicken making it unable to go through his
arteries. The doctors are afraid that he may now
have a stroke or heart attack. His only option
is a heart transplant. Although his family has
insurance, a heart transplant procedure costs a
lot of money and insurance doesn't cover near
enough. That is why this family needs your help.
2006
Family Fundraiser FUNomenon funds where
collected to help Noah have this surgery.
Thank you for helping with the Event.
