The Fight Like Deuce Foundation was created in memory of Christopher Wheeler II, affectionately known as “Deuce,” who, in his short but impactful years, showed an incredible capacity for joy, strength, and resilience. Born with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD), Deuce faced more challenges than most, yet he met each day with bravery and a contagious smile that uplifted everyone around him. Deuce’s courage and spirit of joy continue to inspire us, even though his time with us was far too brief.

The Fight Like Deuce Foundation exists to honor Deuce’s legacy by supporting CHD families through the emotional and mental challenges that come with this journey. We are committed to providing a community of compassion and remembrance for families who, like us, have faced the devastating loss of a child. Through a supportive network of understanding and remembrance, we stand together with families in their struggles and celebrate the love that connects us all.
