Event Announcements
Thank You, Philadelphia! ❤️
Your energy, generosity, and passion made this year’s event truly unforgettable.
Because of you, we’ve raised critical, life-saving funds for congenital heart defect research—and we’re now just a little over $6,000 away from reaching our goal. The impact of this community continues to grow, and every bit of support helps fuel the progress we’re making together.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of this incredible movement.
WHY WE WALK
Join us for a meaningful one-mile walk where heart families, supporters, and survivors unite for change. This family-friendly event brings our community together, honoring Heart Warriors we've lost and celebrating those still fighting. We walk side by side - heart families, bereaved families, and supporters - showing that no one faces CHDs alone.
Your fundraising fuels vital research for congenital heart defects - the most common birth defect, affecting 1 in 110 babies. Through The Children's Heart Foundation's research grants, we fund innovative treatments and surgical advances that help children with CHD live longer, healthier lives.
