2026 Capital Region Heart Walk & Run
Vanderheyden- Always Better Together
Nine out of ten people who suffer cardiac arrest outside of a hospital do not survive. In many of these cases, bystander CPR was not performed—but this is something we can change.
Cardiac arrests can happen anywhere: at work, at home, on athletic fields, and in neighborhoods all around us. In those critical moments, the preparedness of our community can mean the difference between life and death.
Now is the time to come together, take action, and save lives. Every walker who joins us and every dollar donated helps train more people in lifesaving CPR, supports vital research, and creates more moments where lives are saved.
Members of the Vanderheyden community: our team, families, and friends have been impacted by heart disease at alarming rates. Heart disease does not discriminate by age, gender, or ethnicity.
Take a stand today. Make a donation. Walk with us.
We walk to save lives. Help us reach our goal by joining our team or contributing to our mission. Together, we can turn bystanders into lifesavers.
