Kinsley was born happy and healthy, but at one year old, doctors found a heart murmur. She was diagnosed with pulmonary valve stenosis and cardiomyopathy, and bravely underwent open-heart surgery. Later, she was also diagnosed with Noonan Syndrome, a rare genetic condition that makes her heart issues more complex and means she'll need more surgeries in the future.

But Kinsley faces every challenge with courage and a bright smile. She's a joyful and energetic girl who loves cheerleading, horseback riding, and all things creative. Arts and crafts are her favorite, especially painting with lots of pink and purple! She’s also a huge fan of Disney’s Frozen and adores Elsa, Anna and Olaf.

One of Kinsley's biggest dreams is about to come true—she’s thrilled to go on a Carnival Cruise, where she’s most excited about one thing: swimming with pigs!
