DEAR PARENT OR GUARDIAN,

Registration is now open! Our community counts on lifesavers like you. Please sign your student up for our Kids Heart Challenge so they can learn how to keep their hearts and brains healthy while raising funds to help kids with special hearts. By completing Finn’s Mission, they’ll also learn the lifesaving skill of Hands-Only CPR and how to recognize a stroke.
Students in Kids Heart Challenge are raising funds to help kids with special hearts — kids like Finn. Born with multiple heart defects, Finn spent the first eight months of his life in the hospital. Although he’s had more than 18 procedures, today Finn is an energetic third-grader who loves educating others about heart health and helping kids with special hearts.
