2026 Northland Heart Walk
Team Benson
Welcome to our team page!
My 6-year-old son, Benson, was born with a rare congenital heart defect called Double Inlet Left Ventricle (DILV). He has a quiet strength that amazes me every single day. By six years old, he has already been through three major heart surgeries. Watching him face each recovery with so much courage has shown me what true bravery looks like—he really is my superhero.
Why We Walk
We walk for Benson, but we also walk for every child and family navigating the world of Congenital Heart Defects.
We walk to raise critical funds for research, life-saving medical advances, and better treatments that give kids with single-ventricle hearts the opportunity to grow, thrive, and chase their biggest dreams.
When you support our team or join us on walk day, you aren't just making a donation—you’re honoring Benson’s incredible journey and helping build a brighter, healthier future for heart heroes everywhere.
Thank you for standing by our superhero and supporting our family!
