❤️ Why We Run: James’ Story

In February 2023, our son James was diagnosed with toxic shock syndrome at age 4. He required emergency life-support (ECMO), a program that only exists at the Alberta Children's Hospital because the Foundation raised the funds to pay for it.

Today, James is a symbol of resilience. We are committed to paying it forward so that the 100,000+ kids treated here every year get the same fighting chance. Every child deserves the best care possible.

Thank you for being part of our story and supporting this community.

The incredible ECMO program at the Stollery Hospital and James' story was featured recently on Global News: https://globalnews.ca/news/11730479/stollery-ecmo-program/

With love,

Matt, Dianne, James and Izzy

Heart Beats 17th Annual Fun Run & Walk

June 13, 2026 | Rosemont Community Hall & Confederation Park Pathway

It takes a community to support a child and their family with a heart condition, and on June 13, that community comes together.

Join us for Heart Beats Children's Society's 17th Annual Fun Run & Walk, a celebration of movement, connection, and every heart family who has needed their community to help them navigate what pediatric heart disease looks like for their family.

Choose your distance and show up your way:

• 5KM Fun Run — Start time 10:00 AM

• 3KM Family Walk — Start time 10:30 AM

Last year, our community raised over $90,000, and thanks to Rogers' Birdies for Kids presented by AltaLink, more than $18,000 in additional matched funds meant our impact went even further. This year, we're reaching higher. Every registration and every dollar raised goes directly toward Heart Beats programs that provide connection, peer support, and meaningful moments of care for hundreds of children and families living with congenital and acquired heart conditions.

Whether you run, walk, or roll - your participation matters. And if you can't join us on the course, a donation in support of a participant helps ensure no family navigates a heart journey alone.

Kids' activity areas featuring CHAMPS Camp and Offbeats offer free, fun programming designed to get children moving and learning about heart-healthy living. Plus, enjoy face painting, cotton candy, popcorn, a balloon artist, and more on the day.

Together, we move. Together, we give. Together, we make sure every heartbeat and footprint counts.
