Loving Lucy

Ride for Breakthroughs for Little Hearts!

We are raising money to support innovative cardiac research for kids at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). With your help, we can better understand the causes of pediatric heart disease, develop new treatments, improve long-term outcomes and offer new hope to families who need it most.

Why We Ride:

• Little hearts need us:  The world slowed down, but parents are still hearing the words “your child has congenital heart disease.” Yet 1 in every 120 babies born in the United States are diagnosed with congenital heart disease.
• Together, we’ll create a breakthrough for every child: "The Philly-Spin-In not only inspires the Cardiac Center team to continue our pursuit of clinical excellence, but the funding the event generates also allows us to push new boundaries of research and patient care initiatives that help define the future of pediatric heart care.” – Dr. Jonathan Chen

We Ride For Lucy and all the amazing heart warriors!

Our daughter Lucy was born in April 2023 with CHD. She was immediately rushed to CHOP and had her first open heart surgery when she was 3 days old. She had her second open heart surgery in March 2024 when she was 11 months old. The CHOP team is amazing and we are so thankful for all the doctors and nurses that took care of her while she was there! Please consider donating to this wonderful cause. Our heart warrior thanks you! <3
