Callie Schlicht - Clinical Asst. Professor at MU
Heart and Sole 5K Run/Walk

I am the chair of Milwaukee's first "Heart and Sole 5K Run/Walk" on June 22nd 2019 at Miller Park. This event is benefitting the Pediatric Congenital Heart Association. Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) effects 1 in 100 children, and is also the #1 cause of infant mortality. My son Theo was born with a form of CHD in September 2017 and unfortunately passed away in March 2018. Ever since, I have been a mom on a mission to make a difference in the lives of the children and families still battling this terrible disease. Outside of this event, I work as a clinical assistant professor at Marquette University in the College of Nursing, and part-time as a nurse practitioner.
