Meet our Race Day Speaker Dr. Kyle Riggs! At age 8, Dr. Kyle Riggs was on the sidelines, healing from heart surgery.

He still carries the scar, and it helps him connect with families facing the same challenges.

As a pediatric heart surgeon at Golisano Children's at UK, he brings both skill and the perspective of someone who has been there to every surgery.

For our little heart heroes to see their fellow doctors and nurses cheering for them outside the office supercharges them to keep fighting, keep striving and overcoming the odds.

The battle with Congenital Heart Defects stretches far beyond the hospital walls. 🧠❤️

While the physical surgeries and medical treatments are a massive part of the journey, the reality of living with a CHD brings unique psychological and social challenges that can last from infancy all the way through adulthood.

From navigating anxiety and developmental milestones to building social connections, our heart warriors and their families face invisible hurdles every single day.

That is exactly why Kerrington’s Heart exists. We don’t just walk away after a successful procedure—we are dedicated to building a lifelong, unstoppable support system where no family ever has to navigate these challenges alone.

When you support the Wild Hearts Fun Run, you aren’t just funding medical resources; you are funding community, mental health support, and a tribe that stands by these warriors through every stage of life.

Let's move hearts—and minds—forward together. 🦸‍♂️💨
