THANK YOU, NEW YORK CITY!!

Every step taken and every dollar raised moves us closer to a future where all children with CHDs have the chance to thrive. A special shout-out to our incredible committee - volunteers are the heartbeat of CHF and we're so grateful for all you do!!

WHY WE WALK
Join us for a meaningful one-mile walk where heart families, supporters, and survivors unite for change. This family-friendly event brings our community together, honoring Heart Warriors we've lost and celebrating those still fighting. We walk side by side - heart families, bereaved families, and supporters - showing that no one faces CHDs alone.
Your fundraising fuels vital research for congenital heart defects - the most common birth defect, affecting 1 in 110 babies. Through The Children's Heart Foundation's research grants, we fund innovative treatments and surgical advances that help children with CHD live longer, healthier lives.
