We are preparing for our official Kids Heart Challenge launch on 1/19/21 – if you are learning from home, be sure to log in to view the kick-off video! As Inductees into the Heart Hero training program, students will receive daily and weekly missions to complete. The more missions they achieve, the more activities that are available to them.
You can get a head start with your student by watching the Official KHC Trailer and by scanning the QR code below to download the Kids Heart Challenge app and register for our team.
BONUS – Anyone who registers BEFORE the kick-off will go into a drawing for a prize!
Our school is proud to help the American Heart Association as they are supporting our community in many ways during this pandemic. In a normal year, heart disease is the leading cause of death in America, but now people who have had a stroke or live with heart disease make up more than 40% of those hospitalized for COVID-19. The AHA has already funded $2.5 Million in fast-response grants to study COVID-19’s effects on heart disease patients, as well as launched a COVID-19 Data Registry within the Get with the Guidelines registry that is used by hundreds of hospitals nation-wide. This has made it possible to learn from COVID patients quickly and improve treatments more rapidly. The more that is discovered, the more research is needed.
We understand that not every family is able to donate, but all students will enjoy (and learn from) the weekly missions and will have the opportunity to share about heart disease prevention in your family and community. However, if you are able to help raise funds, the American Heart Association will put those to work right here in Houston.
Thank you so much for your support!
