UFC heavyweight Walt Harris and his wife Angela suffered an unspeakable tragedy when their daughter Aniah Blanchard was kidnapped and murdered in 2019.
Now they are hoping to prevent other families from suffering the same fate with a new non-profit organization started in their daughter’s name.
Aniah’s Heart Foundation will seek to provide resources to help families searching for a missing loved one as well as help teach self-defense and awareness training to hopefully prevent further kidnappings.
“In the midst of all the turmoil we were going through, we didn’t know where to turn during those first hours of abduction, which are the most critical,” Harris told UFC.
