2026 Buffalo Heart Walk
Kaleida Thrivers
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.
I am a two time stroke survivor. My daughter, Casey (now 33) was born with an atrial septal defect and bicuspid valve and mitral valve. At age 4 she underwent open heart surgery to have the ASD successfully closed. She has gone on to be a cross country runner, track athlete and dancer in high school. As an adult she has completed two 1/2 marathons. She has a 1 year old daughter with an ASD and with all of the research that has been done she is confident that her daughter will grow up strong and healthy as well.
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.
