Dancing & Triathlon…ing

Our house has a very busy weekend ahead of us. Saturday is Zoe’s dance recital. By my calculations, this will be her 8th recital. Oh the places you’ll go…

Sunday is my big day. It’s Berkshire Triathlon day! I’m no where near my $500 goal so I’m using all of my social media channels to send up a smoke signal! The economy is crap and times are tough, but every little bit helps. If 10 of our friends donated $10 that would be another $100 for camp! Did I mention that camp is completely free to all the families? It is and that’s possible because of people who give what they can to give these kids an experience they likely wouldn’t get otherwise. Flying Horse Farms has weeks dedicated to kids with cardiology, pulmonary, facial anomalies, hematology, oncology, rheumatology & GI conditions. On Sunday, I will be swimming, biking, AND running to raise money so more kids can experience camp. It’s going to be 90+ degrees, but I’ll busting ass so these kids can have at least 1 week a year where being sick takes a backseat to being a kid.

Zoe’s Heart began the day our world changed. My daughter, Zoe, received a heart transplant at just six years old. Six. In the span of childhood milestones and bedtime stories, we learned words like “transplant,” “rejection,” “ICU,” and “donor family.” We learned what it means to wait. To hope. To live in the in-between. This blog is our way of sharing the journey — the beautiful, the terrifying, the exhausting, and the miraculous. Zoe’s Heart exists for two reasons: To keep our family and friends updated as we walk this road. And to advocate fiercely for organ donation — because someone else’s yes saved my daughter’s life. This space is raw. It’s honest. It doesn’t pretend the hard parts don’t exist. But it also refuses to ignore the hope. We believe in celebrating progress, honoring the gift of life, and speaking openly about what transplant families experience behind hospital doors. Zoe is living proof that generosity changes everything. Thank you for being here. Thank you for following her journey. And if you ever find yourself wondering whether organ donation matters — it does. It saved our girl. Welcome to Zoe’s Heart.
