eXECUTIVE BOARD

Ady & Rob Dorsett

As Hayden's parents, we are the founders and directors of Hayden's Heart INC. We started this foundation just a few months after he passed away out of desperation as a way to keep Hayden's memory alive and help raise awareness for CHD. It has given us a way to feel like we are helping Hayden live on and to us, there is nothing more important.

Family

Besides Hayden, together we have three other sons. Jackson is the oldest of our tribe and Hayden's only big brother. Our rainbows Hudson and Greyson bless us with their smiles and energy every day. Together the three of them, along with Hayden's foundation, are helping us heal one day at a time.

Ady Dorsett - Chief Executive Officer

Ady serves as a liaison between the foundation and the heart community and is especially passionate about providing support to the heart angel community- specifically through her ‘Healing of the Heart’ retreat for mothers who have experienced a loss due to a CHD. Ady has her hand in all aspects of the foundation from planning and hosting events, mailing out apparel, supporting and communicating with fellow heart moms and heart organizations, and much more. Please contact Ady at ady.dorsett@haydenshouseofhealing.org

Rob Dorsett - Chief Financial Officer

Rob handles all financial aspects as well as all the behind the scenes legalities that come with running a non profit 501c3 foundation. He is the head of the annual 5k run/walk committee and helps plan the NJ Golf Outing and the Heart of Gold Gala. For information on the 5K, or other information on our foundation, please contact rob.dorsett@haydensheart.org.

Tatum Heiser - Events Coordinator

I am Ady's sister and Hayden’s Aunt, and I am honored to be an HH board member. I live in Williamsport PA with my husband Andy and our four children, and I own 2 childcare facilities in the Williamsport area. Hayden's journey has given me a different perspective in my personal home life, as well as with the families and children we deal with. Since Hayden's diagnosis, 2 infant children in our care have passed, one from a CHD. Dealing with children, other than my own, on a daily basis has really opened my heart and eyes to help parents become aware of CHD.

I've always been a firm believer in the saying "everything for a reason". Hayden’s journey for me started when he was 20 weeks in utero. Although he was not yet born there was a desire to spread the word about his condition and have people pray for him and his family. Hayden's journey was a difficult one, but through it all he inspired thousands with his piercing blue eyes and his captivating smile. So although I don’t yet know the reason he was taken so soon, I do know that more people still need to know about Hayden and his journey and it is my intention to spread his story but also raise awareness of CHD.

I play a huge part in organizing the many events that take place in Ady's hometown and am proud of how successful these events have been. Currently I head the Heart to Heart Gala that takes place in Pennsylvania in the Fall every other year. If you would like more information or to support this event in any way, please contact me at tatum.heiser@haydensheart.org.

Ashley Donovan - Family Coordinator

I grew up in Williamsport, Pennsylvania and I have had the pleasure of knowing Ady since high school. My husband, Michael, and I currently live in Mount Airy, Maryland, with our two beautiful children, Leah and Liam. Since the first day we learned of Hayden's journey, his name and legacy is something we talk about daily in our home. For myself and my husband, it is crucial to us that we teach our children the importance of giving back to our community and always trying to help others in need.

Hayden's bright orange hair and contagious smile touched my family's heart deeply. And thus, I feel so honored and elated that Ady and Rob chose me to join the Hayden's Heart Executive Board. I am honored to join the leadership team, and I look forward to using my time and talents to help as the Family Coordinator. It is my mission in life to assist and raise awareness of CHD by helping others in Hayden's name.
