Imagine living in a family where sudden deaths were a tragic norm. That's the reality heart mom Jackie Renford faced before the fateful identification of Long Q-T Syndrome, a genetic heart condition, in her family. Her misdiagnosis and the subsequent loss of her son and daughter have inspired her to become an advocate for early detection and treatment of this life-threatening condition. Journey with us as she shares her family's heart-wrenching story and opens up about the ongoing battle with Long Q-T Syndrome.

Jackie's experiences with Long QT Syndrome open up a world that is often misunderstood. How do you navigate through life when you and multiple family members are affected by a genetic heart condition? Jackie gives us a first-hand account of the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of Long Q-T Syndrome, as well as the emotional toll it takes. She emphasizes the importance of regular medical check-ups, cautious medication use, and a proper diagnosis. Find out how her family is rallying around this, the importance of comprehensive medical care, and how they're facing the realities and challenges of living with Long QT Syndrome.

We may not choose the trials we face, but we can choose to find blessings amidst adversity. In the spirit of finding light in the darkness, I share my own experiences of living with a congenital heart defect and the support that has been instrumental in my journey. As we approach the holiday season, I encourage you to join us in providing free programming for the congenital heart defect and bereaved communities. It's through our stories that we realize we are not alone, and it's in our blessings that we find hope. Join us for a profound understanding of Long QT Syndrome and a message of resilience and hope.
