The heart of a champion. It's a phrase common in sports, but it could also apply to a young girl from Bethlehem. Arden Ashford has overcome a rare heart defect and is now hoping to help others with similar problems. WFMZ's Bo Koltnow reports.

May 22, 2008 - Well we can't believe it has been a year since Arden's surgery! She is doing very well and just had her 1 year follow up appointment in Boston last week. She went through a whole day of testing while there including chest x-rays, CT scans, Echocardiograms an exercise stress test and Cardiologist and Electrophysiologist visits. Arden did well on all aspects of the testing and managed to more than double her ability on her pre surgery stress test score. We are now in the midst of planning Arden's fundraiser event, "Bringing Sunshine to Hearts" dinner on June 19th. Please read more about this event on this web site.
