Each year, we walk to raise critical funds for CHD research to honor Nora's memory and build a legacy of hope in her name.

It is our greatest hope that one day, a baby with her diagnosis will live a long, healthy, and full life. And we hope that the family of a beautiful baby like Nora will have the great privilege of enjoying many birthdays, holidays, and milestones with their child.

So thank you for joining us in this mission. Thank you for celebrating her short life with us and recognizing her memory. Words cannot express what it means to our family and how grateful we are.

CHDs are the most commonly occurring birth defect, affecting nearly 1 in 110 children born, and are the leading cause of birth defect-related deaths in the United States.  

To date, The Children’s Heart Foundation has funded more than $20 million in Congenital Heart Defects research, helping to improve survival rates, longevity, and quality of life for CHD patients. Because of funded research, death rates from CHDs in the U.S. have declined by 37.5% since 1999.
