Bryson Faus

This week we are celebrating Bryson Faus! Bryson is 11 and lives in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Riley saved Bryson’s life! Bryson was born with multiple congenital heart defects and severe bilateral hydronephrosis. He was life-lined to Riley at about 12 hours old and has since had about a dozen surgeries (including 3 open heart surgeries), numerous in-patient stays, and is still seen by Riley Cardiology, Urology, and Nephrology. He was a 2022 Riley Champion and loves helping raise awareness and support for Riley any chance he gets!

In 2022, Bryson collected over 100 lego sets to donate to Riley for other kids because legos helped him cope with being in-patient and mainly bed-bound while recovering from infective endocarditis in 2020 and after his 3rd open heart surgery in 2022. Besides his love for Riley, Bryson loves legos, minecraft, and math.

We have loved PUDM since our first marathon back in 2014. We love meeting all the students who work so hard throughout the year, playing with our buddies, and participating in the Riley Kid Talent Show!

If Bryson could spend a day as an animal he would choose a baboon and with a billion dollars, he would spend half a billion on legos and minecraft and the other half he would donate to Riley to help other kids like him.
