👣 Two Feet & A Heartbeat registrations are now OPEN for 2026!

Join us this October as we honour those impacted by childhood-onset heart disease. We walk for the heart kids showing extraordinary courage every day, and for those whose lives were far too short but remain forever in our hearts.

Because once you're a heart family, you're always a heart family.
Once a heart parent, always a heart parent.

Once a heart kid, always a heart kid — whether you're 7, 17 or 70.
When you register, you'll receive a special Two Feet & A Heartbeat bandana. Wear it with pride as a headscarf, neck scarf, hair tie, around your wrist, arm, or ankle, or tied to a pram. However you wear it, let it tell your heart story and show that you belong to something bigger.

Lets come together as one big community. ❤️

As a proud partner of Murdoch Children's Research Institute - MCRI, we’re thrilled to celebrate this extraordinary research breakthrough.

MCRI researchers have successfully created human heart valve tissue from stem cells, closely resembling the real tissue found in the human body.

This exciting research could help scientists better understand how heart valves develop, mature and become damaged, while paving the way for new approaches to repairing damaged valves in the future.

A remarkable step forward for our HeartKids community❤️

We're just two months away from our first Two Feet & A Heartbeat walk! 👟💙

Have you ordered your HeartKids merchandise yet? 🧢

This year, we're encouraging everyone to purchase their merchandise through our online shop before your walk. There will be limited stock available at some locations on the day, so ordering ahead is the best way to make sure you don't miss out on the items you want.

Every purchase helps raise awareness of childhood-onset heart disease (CoHD) and helps HeartKids continue supporting families from diagnosis through every stage of their journey.
