2026 Kansas City Heart & Stroke Walk
Grunkle Jon's
In a heartbeat, you could be the difference.
9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital don’t survive. Most of the time, it’s because no one nearby performed CPR. But together, we can change that.
In 2025, Jon Patton, 18 years old, experienced a sudden cardiac emergency that took his life on April 30th. CPR couldn't save his life, but education to know the signs could have. His rare condition has very little research. This walk is for those like him to maybe have a second chance.
Extraordinary things happen when people take action. A small step. A simple skill. A lifesaving moment. Heart Walk brings communities together to create health and hope for every heartbeat. Every walker who joins, every dollar donated, means more people trained in CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone.
Extraordinary starts with YOU. Join our team today or support by donating towards our fundraising goal.
