About Mighty Movement

Did you know that 1 in 100 babies are born with a congenital heart defect (CHD)?  And that every 15 minutes, a baby is born with a heart defect in the United States? 

Mighty Oakes Heart Foundation, including the Young Hearts, has taken inspiration from these staggering statistics and we are challenging you to run or walk 100 miles in the month or engage in physical wellness activity for at least 15 minutes per day (just 465 minutes for the month). Set your goal and track your progress - you have the whole month of October to complete the Mighty Movement Challenge!

Our goal is to create awareness for CHDs, share the mission of Mighty Oakes Heart Foundation and to raise much needed funds to continue helping heart families in profound ways!

About MOHF

Our mission is to support families of children diagnosed with congenital heart defects financially, emotionally, and in ways unique to their needs.

We provide financial grants to heart families to help parents spend less time worrying about bills and other basic daily stresses, to help them concentrate more on the emotional support they give to their child fighting a congenital heart defect.

About Young Hearts for MOHF

We are a group of energetic, passionate young leaders (ages 24-40) who are dedicated to supporting the roots of the Mighty Oakes Heart Foundation, helping families facing congenital heart defects by having the freedom to be a family and hope amidst the chaos. Young Hearts achieves this through advocacy, awareness, volunteerism, and events and fundraising. 

Mighty Movement Challenge 2024

Welcome to the 5th Annual MIGHTY MOVEMENT CHALLENGE (MMC)!  Move your body during the month of October and help raise money for a mighty cause!

There are 3 ways you can help:

#1 -  You can START A TEAM (team registration is a one-time fee of $50) and then have your friends and family join when they register!  Customize your team page and compete with other teams to see who can raise the most money!

#2 -  SIGN UP as an individual (registration fee of $31... which translates to just $1 a day for our October MMC!).  You can choose to join a team during sign-up, join a team later, or just accept the challenge on your own!  Either as part of a team or on your own, you'll create your own individual fundraising page.  Send a link to your individual fundraising page to your friends and family so they can donate in your name.

#3 -  If you're not ready to start moving, DONATE NOW - just click the red button to help support the Mighty Oakes Heart Foundation.

All registration fees and donations are tax-deductible, as Mighty Oakes Heart Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (EIN 45-2915073)

The team that raises the most during the Mighty Movement Challenge will win a team party, hosted at the MOHF World Headquarters!  A team pizza party or groupt cocktail hour - we'll help you choose the right prize for your team!  The winner will be announced at the Young Hearts Happy Hour on November 6th at Clover and the Bee in Webster Groves!
