Bike4theCHF is a cross country cycling journey featuring very inspirational indivduals affected in one way or another by congenital heart defects. First are our Kids4theCHF. These kids are our local heart heroes. They have been through a lot and their strength keeps us going strong. A few of our Kids4theCHF are no longer with us. We ride to remember them.
Second are our cyclists Nels, Nick, and Jeni. Jeni is an inspiration to all and has 'half a heart' (HLHS). She won't be cycling every mile, but will be making history by taking part in Bike4theCHF. Jeni has an extremely positive attitude and provides so much hope to kids and parents of kids with single ventricles. Nels was born with a CHD (PAPVR) and this is his second year cycling cross country for CHF. Nick Busta is Jeni's husband and was born with a heart of gold. Nick is an Ironman and has a passion to take out CHD.
Established by Betsy Peterson in 1996, The Children’s Heart Foundation (CHF) is the country’s leading organization solely committed to fund congenital heart research. Since 1996, CHF has funded 41 research projects with more than $3.9 million. CHF is a national 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization that does not receive any government funding. The goal of the foundation is to bring health, hope and happiness to children and families impacted by congenital heart defects, the number one birth defect in the United States. This objective is accomplished by funding the most promising research to advance the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of congenital heart defects, the world’s most prevalent and deadly birth defect.
