Los Angeles Heart Walk at the Rose Bowl on Saturday, Oct. 3. The walkers included the Provisor family, headed by husband and wife team, Bruce and Arlene, and their two-year-old daughter Annabelle. Annabelle was born with a heart defect called transposition of the arteries. She was only one month old when she had open-heart surgery to fix her heart. Earlier this year, in February, the toddler had a second corrective surgery. The Provisor family, accompanied this year by Bruce’s mother, Pantip, and nephew, Kyree, has been participating in the Heart Walk since 2007 in honor of their little survivor, Annabelle.
