My name is Carson Burr and I turned 13 on April 4!  On April 12th I celebrate my 13 year anniversary of open heart surgery that saved my life. On APRIL 19th I am walking 13 miles through the city of Brandon with my family and friends to raise money for the Radiothon in Brandon which supports Children’s Hospital Foundation and raises money to purchase equipment for kids in the Brandon Regional Health Centre as well.

I spent nearly 2 months in the hospital and have had numerous surgeries at Children’s Hospital and will have to see Cardiology there until I am an adult. Please help me help other kids to be healthy by pledging your support for my walk.

Over the last 11 years with your help I have raised over

$145 000.00 to help sick kids. By making a donation you are helping to make a difference in child health and child health research. With your support, we can do more for the children and families that need us.

Please make a donation to by by clicking the orange "Donate Now" button and help me to reach my fundraising goal!
