This partnership allows us to offer you a chance to run the coveted NYC marathon and raise crucial funds for children suffering from cardiac diseases around the world. Just like the NYC marathon our work reaches across all corners of the world, and we are dedicated to helping as many children as possible. Your support makes a difference in the lives of children in urgent need of medical care.
