Meet River
The little warrior behind Hearts With River
River had a near drowning accident when he was 14 months old that caused an anoxic brain injury.
Since then, his journey has touched so many people, through his strength, his little victories, his music moments, his artwork, and the love that surrounds him every day.
If you are just meeting River, welcome to Hearts With River.

The Greatest Love
Music has always been part of River’s world, and he is the inspiration behind this song. When I wrote the song, I was sitting at the piano with River on my lap. When we recorded the song in the studio, River was present at every stage. When I was singing, River was right in front of me. And when we filmed this music video together, it became an experience I will never forget.

River’s Art & the Shop
A piece from River
With our help, River paints, and some of his artwork has been turned into greeting cards, mugs, shirts, canvases, and other meaningful items. The shop is one more way people can carry a piece of River’s journey with them and support his therapies.
