In one week on Sunday June 29th J-N-J will be walking to raise money and awareness in the 2014 Congenital Heart Walk at the Boathouse in North Park, about 15 miles outside of Pittsburgh. The Congenital Heart Walk is an ongoing national effort between the Adult Congenital Heart Association (ACHA) and The Children’s Heart Foundation (CHF). We walk to honor and remember the millions who have been impacted by congenital heart defects and disease (CHD). If you are able to join us at the walk, we would love to have you join our team, but at the very least if you can please consider making a donation of any kind – even $5 helps tremendously (links below).
The Congenital Heart Walk is the only national event series dedicated to fighting congenital heart disease, with the goal of raising much needed funds to benefit cutting-edge research, patient programs, and advocacy initiatives. Congenital Heart Defects range in complexity, but many babies born with a CHD will require open heart surgery or other interventions to survive. CHDs affect approximately 1 out of 100 children, and are the leading cause of all infant deaths in the US and Worldwide, but only a fraction of a penny of each dollar the government spends on medical funding is directed towards congenital heart defect research. Please help us raise awareness and show support for this incredible cause that has touched us so personally.
If you are thinking about or have already donated, you have our most sincere thanks, not just from us, but from Heart Families everywhere.
