The annual event is a fundraiser for the hospital, a member of the Westchester Medical Center Health Network, which provides children from the Hudson Valley with life-changing and lifesaving care including open-heart surgery, brain surgery, cancer treatments, trauma and burn care, organ transplants, advanced neonatal services and other advanced pediatric care.
Below is the story of one child who benefited from the hospital’s lifesaving treatment:
Sophia Pinto, Age 4
While just 16 weeks pregnant, Sophia’s mother Christina found out her baby girl was going to have multiple congenital heart defects, including a severely underdeveloped right ventricle and several unformed valves. A short seven days after birth, Sophia had her first lifesaving open-heart surgery and has had two more successful surgeries since then. Today, Sophia is a happy, healthy 4-year-old.
