Our Mission:

Vanessa’s Big Heart Foundation is committed to funding research into the causes and cures for pediatric heart disease.  In the process we also hope to help "Little Kids With Big Hearts" better enjoy their lives, and to support the Children’s Cardiomyopathy Foundation's (CCF) online support system.  Each year Team Big Heart will run the Houston Marathon to raise money in support of this mission and to keep Vanessa's memory alive.
