The Always in Our Hearts 5K is a heartfelt event dedicated to honoring the lives of brothers Timmy and Patrick Ryan, who were lost too soon to congenital heart defects. Hosted by the Always in Our Hearts Foundation, this annual run/walk brings together families, friends, and community members to raise awareness and raise vital funds that support children and families in need. Proceeds from the event help provide donations to organizations such as Advocate Children's Heart Institute and Ronald McDonald House Charities, while also allowing our foundation to give back to local families and community organizations facing hardships. Whether you’re running in memory of a loved one or showing support for CHD warriors, every step helps spread love, hope, and healing. Join us as we celebrate life, resilience, and the power of community.
