“In the past 16 months since the passing of my son, we have three fundraising events: KIDFEST 2018, the HEART
WARRIORS & ANGELS BEACH WALK and KIDFEST 2019,” she explains. “To date Team Nolan has raised over CI$46,000 in donations to the Cayman Heart Fund.”

Nolan’s parent’s concept for KIDFEST is to invite kids out to a day of wonderful fun activities in celebration of the fun spirit of kids during the birthday month of baby Nolan. Their continued mission is to champion Team Nolan’s goal of raising CHD awareness and helping local families with CHD babies. They are looking forward to hosting KIDFEST 2020 and that they are eternally grateful for the continuous support of the community.
