Welcome to my fundraising road course!

Why I Run for CHD Research

The Children’s Heart Foundation is deeply personal to me and my family. For the past four years, I’ve dedicated my career—and my heart—to the incredible Heart Warriors and Angel Families that CHF serves. Their journeys, strength, and unwavering bravery have changed me forever.

I run to give these Warriors and their families hope—hope for a future where no baby dies from a congenital heart defect (CHD), where that fear no longer exists for children or their amazing parents.

I also run for my dad.

My amazing dad passed away in December, just two days after his 71st birthday. He was my person—someone who made a lasting impact on everyone around him. He battled heart disease for most of his life, and ultimately, it’s what took him from us.

I am honored and humbled to run for CHF—in honor of our Heart Warriors and their families, in memory of every Heart Angel, and in loving memory of my dad.

I’m asking 25 people to be part of this mission by sponsoring a mile of my marathon journey. My goal is to raise $4,000 for life-saving CHD research.

  • Sponsor 1 mile for $153 (or 2, 3, or 4!) 
  • Choose your mile(s) from 1–25
    • Miles 1, 2, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25 and 26 have been dedicated!
  • Dedicate your mile to someone special if you’d like—I would be honored to share your story on my social media
  • Mile 26 is for my dad, Mark Langwell. Adobe Stock

All donations, in any amount, make a difference! You do not have to be a $153 donor - please donate any amount. Even $1 makes an impact!

Together, we can fund powerful research and move closer to a world where no family has to fear a CHD.

Thank you for being part of this mission and making a deep impact on these amazing lives!
