Join us in this episode as we dive into the inspiring story of Joe, a young boy with Down syndrome born with half a heart who defied all odds in his battle for life. Peg Eitl, Joe's mother, shares the incredible journey of their family's unwavering determination and resilience in the face of adversity.

From countless medical procedures to the brink of needing a heart and liver transplant, Joe's story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit. Against all odds, the family's refusal to give up led them to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, where a glimmer of hope emerged. The road to a life-saving transplant was arduous, but with the support of a caring community, including Philadelphia Eagles star Brandon Graham, Joe's dream became a reality.
