New England Congenital Heart Walk
New England Congenital Heart 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.
Teams from throughout New England will connect and take part in a number of free activities.
Activities Include:
Remembrance of our Heart Angels and a celebration of our Heart Warriors
