Story

What is STEPtember?

1 in 125 babies are born with heart disease. Join us for STEPtember, a month-long challenge to walk 125km and raise £125 or more. Whether you're pacing the pavements, hitting the hills, or simply walking to work - every step you take enables local children, adults and families affected by congenital heart disease to live empowered lives.

Why should I take part in STEPtember?

Every day, 13 children in the UK are diagnosed with congenital heart defect. By taking part in STEPtember, you could help provide:

👣 Support for families during the toughest times

- Parent accommodation during hospital stays

- Life-saving medical equipment

- Specialist NHS roles

- Resources that bring smiles to young patients' faces, like teddy bears, certificates and ward distractions

You step up for CHSF, and we will continue taking steps towards our vision of "Empowered lives for everyone born with congenital heart disease in our region".
