I am happy to share that Mohammed, a courageous 14-year-old boy from Uganda who suffered from severe mitral valve regurgitation, just had successful heart surgery.

As you might recall, the HeartValveSurgery.com community sponsored Mohammed’s life-saving cardiac surgery at the Uganda Heart Institute. That said, I am especially thankful this Thanksgiving holiday for your support of Mohammed and his family. To learn about Mohammed’s journey to a healthy heart, click here.
