Our Angel Tristan James!

A Way to Connect...

Tristan's Fundraisers!

This is new to us.  Dennis and I are not 'bloggers' per se...though we were searching for another avenue to promote our Fundraisers and raise awareness for Congenital Heart Disease.

Our first son, Tristan James Crawford, was born in February 2008 with severe CHD.
After 24 days in the NICU at CHEO (Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario) Tristan was finally able to come home!
Tristan was home for just 2 days, then passed away suddenly due to Sudden Cardiac Arrest in March 2008.

In the Fall of that year, Dennis and I decided to start a Fundraiser for CHEO in Memory of Tristan.
We thought this would be a wonderful way to remember our Angel Tristan, and a great way to give back to a hospital where Tristan had spent most of his short life.

Our hope is that this blog will help to promote our bi-annual Fundraisers for CHEO, and to increase awareness about CHD.

Please feel free to add comments, photos, share your stories...

Thank-you!!
