Sign up for STEPtember here.

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.

Will you #StepUpForCHSF this September?
