Craig Ranch Regional Park to Host Annual Walk to Benefit Heart Kids in Southern Nevada on April 23
Children’s Heart Foundation continues to make big moves for the 19th Annual Walk with the Heart of a Child. The annual family walk turns 19 with its second year as an outdoor event at Craig Ranch Regional Park, giving walkers a vast space to lace up their sneakers and step out to support the one in 100 (or 40,000) children in the United States who are born with a congenital heart defect (CHD) each year. These 40,000 annual cases make congenital heart defects the leading cause of illness and death in the first year of life.
