One of our amazing children from The Den is taking on a 5K Inflatable Run to raise money for Heart Link Children’s Charity — a charity that supported Oliver and his family when he was younger.

Heart Link helps children and families affected by congenital heart conditions, providing vital support during some of the toughest times. Now Oliver wants to give something back by bouncing, climbing, and sliding his way through this fun challenge! 🏃‍♂️🎈

We are so proud of his determination and kindness, and we know he’ll smash it! 💪💙

If you’d like to support Oliver and help Heart Link continue their incredible work, every donation — big or small — will make a difference.

Please cheer him on and share your encouragement below!:::

Hi, my name’s Oliver. I’m 11, I talk A LOT, I’m a bit nuts, and I lose basically everything exc… Derri Coupland needs your support for Oliver’s Big-hearted 5k
