"It started with my daughter Ava, who's ten, has cerebral palsy and epilepsy. The Triple Bypass was a way to raise awareness and fundraise for my daughter's charities. So, a group of six friends came together, and I started sharing Ava's story at that time. But now it’s so much bigger than that. We’re raising money and awareness for amazing organizations that have a direct impact on helping so many… And for me personally, if I can help one child, one family in this world, that's a win."
