Annual Family Fun Run & Walk
What is the Family Fun Run & Walk about?
The Annual Heart Beats Family Fun Run & Walk is more than just a walk in the park, it’s a powerful community fundraiser that brings together families, friends, and supporters to champion children living with congenital and acquired heart disease.
Each year, participants gather for a day filled with energy, joy, and connection, all while raising vital funds to support Heart Beats Children’s Society. Whether you’re lacing up your shoes solo or rallying a team, your involvement directly helps families navigate the challenges of pediatric heart disease through financial support, resources, and community programming.
Participants can raise funds as individuals or in teams and choose to participate in either the 3km walk or the 5km run. Every dollar raised plays a role in continuing our mission to uplift and empower Heart Beats families across Alberta.
Join us in making a difference—one step, one story, and one heartbeat at a time.
