Run For Hunters Heart

Run For Hunters Heart Run for Hunters Heart was started to support Hunter and family. Our plan is to help others families! It was held on the Cape Cod canal in Sept 2015.

Run for Hunter's Heart had a successful first annual 4 mile run. Our goal is to continue raising money for the Peets family and other families effected by CHD (congenital heart defects). Besides the run we will have other fitness events leading up the the following years run. Please be sure to keep following the page for the info for any and all events. Donations and potential sponsors please cont

Scott and Nicky Peets are expecting their baby Hunter Ray Peets this Oct. During an ultrasound to check for Spina bifida a heart defect was discovered. He was diagnosed with a condition called Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) - Pulmonary Atresia. This means a few things he has a hole between the bottom left and right ventricles which is allowing blue and pink blood to mix. His aorta is slightly shifted and doing extra work. His biggest issue is he has no formed pulmonary artery supplying blood to his lungs. Hunter will be born in Boston and have surgeries at Boston Children's Hospital the #1 pediatric cardiology facility in the country. Not many hospitals can preform these surgeries, so their insurance company is currently treating it as a tier two (out of network) case. This means the insurance will only cover 50% of the costs after a large deductible is paid. With less extreme cases up to 3 surgeries is the norm, but doctors predict it will be many more for Hunter. So friends and family have started fund raising campaigns to help deter some of the medical, travel, and other related costs. Hunter was born Oct 1st and as of Dec 9th has had 2 open heart surgeries. More of his first two months of life have been at the amazing Boston Children's Hospital. His parents are beside him constantly requiring financial burdens. Any and all help received is with great appreciation. We hope to raise awareness about children born with heart defects and their families.

Today is the last day of make a wish month. Make a wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island have filled over 10,000 wishes since it started. Those wishes are a life line for families going through their worst nightmares. For a lot of families it is the only family vacation they will ever have or an event that the family would never be able to achieve without your help. Every donation helps get a family hope of making it through. It gives there a little light in a dark place. From a wish mom herself it was like getting a breath of air when you feel like you’re drowning. If you can donate any amount please do so and help make a wish come true for a sick child.

I am so excited to be running my first half marathon with team make-a-wish. My son was born with 5 heart defects and has gone through 4 open heart surgeries by the time he was 5. He was fortunate enough to be a make-a-wish recipient in 2019. It was a dream come true. Running this marathon helps me g...

Run for hunters heart is taking a slight shift temporarily. We still hope to one day become a non profit that helps other families impacted by congenital heart disease. Right now we are shifting to help another amazing organization. In 2019 hunter was granted an amazing trip by Make-A-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island. I am happy to announce that Nicky (Hunter’s mom) will be running the Providence Marathon on team Make-a-wish. There are some great events coming up to help support this wonderful cause.
