30 Years of Walking Together. A Lifetime of Impact.
Our Congenital Heart Walk brings heart families, survivors, and supporters together for a meaningful one-mile walk—honoring Heart Warriors we’ve lost and celebrating those still fighting. It’s a family-friendly day of connection, remembrance, and hope, showing that no one faces CHDs alone.
For 30 years, The Children’s Heart Foundation has funded research that has driven breakthrough advances that are saving lives, improving outcomes, and helping children with CHD grow up to chase their dreams. Every grant brings hope. Every discovery gives families more moments together.
Walk with us. Fund hope. Change lives.
