Heart Heroes Gallery Unveiling


The American Heart Association's Heart Heroes Gallery will be unveiled on Monday, November 29th at the Antler's Hotel at 4 S. Cascade Avenue, Colorado Springs, CO 80903 in downtown Colorado Springs from 4:30 to 6pm.  This event is free and open to the public, and I encourage everyone to attend. 

The photos are absolutely beautiful!  I know each and everyone of these children, and they are truly inspiring.  These are children who have battled and continue to battle congenital heart disease.  The amazing thing is that they do so with bright smiles, infectious laughter and amazing bravery.  Looking at these children, no one would know what they have dealt with or continue to deal with each day.  Some of these children may have physical limitations, but they don't let it keep them down. 

Life is not about what they can't do...it's about what they can do.

Heart Heroes Gallery

The American Heart Association's Heart Heroes Gallery is almost finished!  This is the gallery that features 8 of our local Colorado Springs children who are battling Congenital Heart Disease.  You can click here to see the official 2011 Heart Ball page and invitation to the unveiling of this special gallery. 

The ladies at the American Heart Association and the members of my Passion/Education Committee have worked very hard to make this happen.  The photos are breathtaking, and Kristi Steeger, our amazing photographer, did a wonderful job capturing the beauty of our children.  The official unveiling of this very special gallery will be taking place on Monday, November 29th from 4:30 to 6pm at the Antlers Hotel in downtown Colorado Springs.  The event is free and open to the public, so please come and see these beautiful photos and meet the survivors in person.
