Why do I support The John Ritter Foundation for Aortic Health?

This journey is very personal to me. My wife, Erika, experienced searing chest pain while pregnant with our daughter, Amelia. We decided then that Erika should go to the hospital, to make sure everything was okay with Amelia. Had Erika not been 8 months pregnant, we probably would not have gone to the hospital at all. Despite a family history of aortic dissection, we waited all day within Labor and Delivery until a CT scan was performed, discovering the aortic dissection. She was immediately rushed into open heart surgery and to perform a c-section.


I am forever grateful that Erika and Amelia are here, and I would like to share their story to spread awareness and to support the efforts of the John Ritter Foundation to find a cure.
