Let's Go the Distance for Children with Cardiomyopathy
Cardiomyopathy is the leading cause of sudden cardiac death in children — but with research, awareness, and community, we can change that. Walk for a Cure is how we go the distance together. Join us this September during Pediatric Cardiomyopathy Awareness Month to Walk for a Cure. Help us raise awareness for this critical disease by walking in your community or anywhere in the world — every step funds research, supports families, and brings us closer to a cure.
It Takes a Team
You choose how you walk. We'll help you every step of the way. Both options raise real money for pediatric cardiomyopathy research, family support programs, and awareness initiatives.
-
VIRTUAL WALK
Participants set their own goals and walk at any time and any place
-
COMMUNITY WALK
In-person gathering at a park, school, beach, or neighborhood
