Children's Hospital
Children's Heart Running Team
Join the Children's Heart Running Team in the 2013 Baltimore Running Festival.
About the Team
The Children's Heart Running Team is comprised of runners of all levels who have chosen to raise money for children's heart disease as part of their participation in the annual Baltimore Running Festival. The race this year will be held on October 12, 2013. Members of the Children's Heart Running Team have included cardiologists from UMMC's Children's Heart Program, nurses, family members, students and community friends who've heard about the team and want to run for a good cause.
All the money raised by the Children's Heart Running Team goes directly to the Children's Heart Program at the University of Maryland Children's Hospital, where we care for patients with heart disease from before birth through childhood and into adulthood.
