Hughs Family Blog

I want to leave this digital blog to my children, so that as they age they can read about some of the things that saddened our family and brought us great joy. I want them to see how one man has changed their fathers life. I want them to know that person and walk with him as they get older. That is the purpose of this blog.

Jump Rope for Heart

During Feb 22-26, I will be joining millions of other kids to help save lives with the American Heart Association's Jump Rope For Heart Program! Kids like my little sister Aubrey.

I'm doing the Jump Rope For Heart program at my school and learning about kids with special hearts. I'm also learning about my own heart, and how to take care of it. And I'm getting active and jumping rope!

Aubrey was prenatally diagnosed with Pulmonary Valve Artresia. She has had many heart surgeries. Last August she had another open heart surgery that shut down her right ventricle. While I got to stay in Ronald McDonald houses, I did not like seeing my sister hurting in the hospital. She is special to me and Evan and special to my Mom and Dad and that is why I am going to work real hard and Jump Rope as much as I can.
I'm excited about raising money to help kids like Aubrey with special hearts. Please help me save lives and be a Heart Hero!
