Welcome to Hagen’s Heart Heroes! We’re walking in the 2026 Heart Walk in support of Hagen Bussey, who was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, a rare congenital heart defect in which the left side of the heart is severely underdeveloped. Hagen has already survived three open-heart surgeries, and he’s still the toughest guy we know. 

Hagen walked in the Heart Walk last year, and he’s back this year to lead our team. We’re walking so kids like Hagen get the research, care, and hope they deserve.

Every dollar raised supports the American Heart Association’s lifesaving work in research, education, and advocacy. Join our team, walk with us, or donate below. Every step and every gift counts. Thank you for being one of Hagen’s heroes!
