St. Louis Congenital Heart Walk

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page for the Congenital Heart Walk. Raising funds for CHD research is critically important to all Heart Warriors and Heart Angels, and personally very meaningful to me. Your donation to the Children's Heart Foundation "Places Children at the Heart of Research." That's right, CHF funds life-changing research to advance the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of CHDs. Walking with my best friend’s family for her niece, Calie, had been a summer tradition for many years. But when her daughter, Evelyn, was born with Tetralogy of Fallot, the urgency became higher. I support The Children’s Heart Foundation throughout the year because the research funded by this organization likely saved the life of both of these Heart Heroes. Without such needed funds, Calie and Evelyn may not have received the life-saving care as quickly as they did. Today, at ages 15 and 7, each of these little ladies lives fairly healthy lives and we thank God and those who support CHF and CHD research for these blessings! Please help me raise funds to support additional research so future families who have CHD babies can know the support they need is available. Thank you in advance! Love, Christine

I want to express my heartfelt thanks for taking a moment to visit my fundraising page.

My commitment to making a difference has led me to participate in the Congenital Heart Walk, an event that carries immense significance for me. It's not just a walk; it's a stride toward changing lives. This endeavor is all about supporting The Children's Heart Foundation and their crucial mission - advancing the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of congenital heart defects through groundbreaking research.

I warmly invite you to become a part of this significant journey by supporting my fundraising efforts. Together, we can raise the funds essential to drive forward life-saving research. Your contribution holds immeasurable value to me.

Thank you for your generosity, and for standing beside me in this mission. Your support means the world.
