Brady
Age 4
Children's Hospital & Medical Center Foundation
Heart Condition
Brady only has half a heart, but it is a heart of gold.
When Brady’s mom was 36 weeks pregnant, she learned her son would be born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, meaning only the right side of his heart would function properly. Brady would need multiple surgeries to survive.
Through each surgery and treatment, Brady has shown amazing courage. Brady loves to play with toy cars, trains, and blocks. With the playful command “All aboard!” those nearby can’t help but respond to this warm and friendly little boy.
Brady’s encouragement and positive spirit inspires other children around him. Whenever he meets new friends, he shows them they can do anything they put their minds to. Brady and his family look forward to the future when his physical heart will be as strong as the love he already has for others.

Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Champions
Champions is a Children's Miracle Network
Hospitals program that brings attention to the important work being done at its
170 children’s hospitals. It does this by honoring 54 remarkable kids who have
faced severe medical challenges, and helping them tell their stories.
The Champions program designates a child in every state who has bravely battled a serious injury or illness. The Champions represent the 17 million children treated at Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals every year. The 2012 Champions have dealt with a wide variety of injuries and illnesses including genetic diseases, organ transplants and traumas, as well as various types of cancer.
The Champions travel for a week in September, first to Washington, D.C., where they traditionally meet with their state representatives on Capitol Hill and visit the White House. They then take a private chartered flight, provided by Delta Air Lines, to Orlando, Fla. While there, Champions meet Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals corporate partners, hospital representatives and media partners. These groups convene to celebrate a year of medical miracles during the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Celebration event at Walt Disney World Resort.
