Heart Patient Turned Beauty Queen
Four years ago at age 12, Alexandra Ellis was diagnosed with an atrial septal defect, a hole between the heart’s two upper chambers that requires surgery in most cases. Alexandra needed two operations but is now so healthy she’ll be appearing at the Miss Teen British Isles contest. It’s obvious from this picture that she’s beautiful and deserves to win. :)
Good luck, Alexandra! You’re a wonderful reminder that a hearty life is possible even in the face of a serious heart condition.
