Anthony

Hi my name is Anthony and sometimes I like to be called Ace. I was born at 35 weeks in Houston, TX with a combination of four congenital abnormalities. These defects, which affect the structure of the heart is called Tetralogy of Fallot. Tetralogy of Fallot is a rare, complex heart defect that occurs in about 5 out of every 10,000 babies. I was born by emergency C-Section on February 22, 2004. My first open heart surgery was at 2 weeks followed by my second at 10 months. The most recent surgery was in 2015 for a catherization at Texas Children’s Hospital. Although at times I might get more tired than other kids, this does not stop me from enjoying the outdoors. Hunt with heart has been a great benefit in making my love for the outdoors even more enjoyable. Fishing being one of my favorite hobbies was how I had the opportunity in meeting my Hunt with Heart family, at a gathering they hosted near Houston, TX. My first time ever going deep sea fishing was at Camp La Pesca with Hunt with Heart. Not only was it my first time going deep sea fishing but also my lucky day in catching 2 red fish with one hook, thanks to the great guides that had the patients in teaching me great fishing techniques. I also had the opportunity of going to Camp Beaver Creek. At this camp I learned the safety of guns, hunting and most of all enjoying all the great food and company of friends with similarities like mine. These memories I’m sure to keep for many years. I am thankful for the opportunities given to me with help of many people who support Hunt with Heart. I thank everyone and hope in making more memories I will cherish in my heart with Hunt with Heart. -Anthony Solis
