Our personal message:

The heart of our team, Anthony "Lil' A" Gomez, came into our lives September 22, 2004. He has been very busy teaching us about courage, strength and faith every day since. Somehow he still finds time to be the happiest little boy on earth.

Anthony was born with complex congenital heart defects - Transposition of the Great Arteries, Double Outlet Right Ventricle, several VSD's (holes in the heart), and a Mitral Valve abnormality. Anthony has had three major heart surgeries, the last of which, The Fontan Pathway, was completed on July 24th, 2008.

Anthony's heart defects are not repairable.....his heart is being "rewired" to work despite the defects. The surgeries that Anthony needs to survive are very, very new and it is just not known how Anthony's "re-wired" heart will stand the test of time. His life is literally in the hands of the amazing team of doctors, nurses and research staff of the Herma Heart Center at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin.

Please join the Lil' A Team in fighting for Anthony and so many other children just as amazing as he is who are living with Congenital Heart Defects. All donations will go directly to The Herma Heart Center at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin to support their life saving work.
