All proceeds go directly to the Kaleida Health Foundation and benefit the best-in-class cardiac programs at Buffalo General Medical Center/Gates Vascular Institute.

As part of our Heart-To-Heart initiative fundraisers will be provided with a personal fundraising page and tools to accept donations from their friends and family. Heart to Heart runners have the ability to win prizes when you fund raise certain amounts.

Let’s join together as a community to fight heart disease in Western New York!❤️
