Two Feet & A Heartbeat

Next date: Sunday, 12 October 2025 | 08:00 AM to 12:00 PM

HeartKids are champions of the heart as Australia’s leading Childhood-onset Heart Disease (CoHD) charity, and the
only not-for-profit organisation dedicated to supporting and advocating for families impacted by CoHD. We bring care,
connection, and compassion to those living with CoHD. As CoHD is for life we’re a companion for every step of the journey,
making holistic care possible with access to tailored information, resources, and support.

Did you know?
• Every 3 hours a baby is born with CoHD. That’s 8 babies a day whose family’s lives have been changed in a heartbeat.
• Each week, four precious lives are lost toCoHD. Nationwide, it is the leading cause of death in infants under 12 months.

Two Feet & A Heartbeat Walk
Two Feet & A Heartbeat is a 4km walk, in honour of the four lives lost to CoHD every week across Australia. Those keen to take
on a greater challenge can choose to do the course twice, and tackle 8km in recognition of the eight babies born with a CoHD each day.

Participants walk side by side with HeartKids families and every walker carries a coloured flag.
• Blue is carried by those living with CoHD
• Red is carried by those walking
in support, and
• White is carried by those walking in memory
of a Heart Angel (a deceased loved one).

Pack a picnic rug or chairs and stay to enjoy a morning of connection and family-friendly activities.
