WHY WE WALK & RUN
Each year, nearly 40,000 infants are born with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) in the United States. CHD is the most common birth defect and the leading cause of birth defect-associated infant illness and death. (CDC, 2020)
We walk and run to honor and celebrate every individual and family member impacted by CHD.
Proceeds from this year's event will be used to advance our mission by providing necessary funds to continue distributing Conquering CHD hospital and prenatal kits, funding of college scholarships for CHD and transplant survivors pursuing higher education in and around Ohio, and medical and research grants to help improve the lives of those living with CHD as well as numerous activities, events and educational programs Conquering CHD-Ohio hosts and supports yearly.
