Karalie DeLuca is the founder of the Jayden DeLuca Foundation, a non-profit organization which raises awareness for pediatric heart conditions –the #1 birth defect in America– and supports advancements in disease prevention and patient-care. After Karalie and Jeremy DeLuca lost their daughter to complications from a heart defect, they chose to honor Jayden’s life by improving the lives of other children affected by pediatric heart conditions. Ten years have now passed, and the Jayden DeLuca Foundation continues to support research projects and build community for families affected by a variety of pediatric heart conditions.
