The 4th annual Trekking for CDH took place on Saturday September 19th. Event organizer Rachel Von Hatten mentioned, “It was an absolutely perfect day and so much fun! The turn out was much better than expected as we had 185 people register.”
Their fundraising goal for this year was $10,000 and with the pandemic and cancellation of some of their side events, they were unsure if they would be able to meet their goal.
Fortunately enough, with proceeds from a raffle earlier this year and an extremely successful 5K event, they were able to reach their goal!
Rachel said, “$10,0000 will be donated to CDH International to help fund research for CDH. It has been our passion, since Tucker and Barrett were born, to help raise awareness and fund research for CDH.”
Thank you so much to the Von Hatten and Korte families for holding Trekking for CDH in honor of their boys, Tucker Von Hatten (4 year old LCDH Survivor) and Barrett Korte (almost 2 year old LCDH Survivor). You are all vital to winning our fight against CDH!
