Team Luke is lacing up it's shoes: Join us!

October 4, 2008
American Heart Association Start! Heart Walk
8th Street and Pacific Avenue, Tacoma, WA

Our Goal:

• To raise $5,000 for Congenital Heart Disease research
  
  
• To increase awareness of congenital heart disease, which is considered to be the most common birth defect, affecting 1 in every 100 babies
  
  
• To honor Luke, our hero fighting his congenital heart defect
  
  

Why We Are Walking:

The money that is raised each year through the Start! Heart Walk will be used to fund the valuable research, education and advocacy efforts of the American Heart Association. And without organizations like the American Heart Association advocating for people with cardiovascular disease, kids like Luke would not have such a fighting chance for a long and active life.

As little as 35 years ago, children born with a single ventricle, like Luke, would have been sent home without hope of seeing their second birthday. Because of faithful researchers, medical pioneers and fund-raisers, children with CHD can experience life in its fullness.
