Lucy Beyers

Lucy was born with a rare condition called heterotaxy, which impacted the arrangement of internal organs. She spent her first seven months at Riley where she underwent 3 major surgeries during that time. She had her first heart surgery at 6 weeks, LADDS procedure at 8 weeks, and her big open heart surgery at 3 months.

She is now 11 and doing wonderful. She was recently named Indiana’s CMN Hospitals Champion for 2023! Lucy has definitely had her challenges along the way, and still faces them today. However, she knows what a gift she is to so many people. She loves to stay active, dance, and spend time with her 3 siblings, Banks, Barrett, and Ruby.

Her smile lights up the room and she is a true miracle. She has a heart of gold and LOVES to give back to Riley, the place that saved her life and where she has built special connections with doctors and specialists that have become family.
