UTICA, N.Y. -- Jaxson Hayes, a heart disease and stroke survivor, is taking on his first year as a red cap ambassador at the 2019 Heart Run and Walk.
At a glance, he looks like your average 5-year-old, but you'd be surprised how much he's been through at such a young age.
Jaxson's story is helping people learn more about heart disease – and he is an inspiration that you can beat this.
He is completely cured, and will just have to be monitored as he grows up from the Congentital Heart Defect that he was born with.
