The 2nd annual Little Hearts Hold Big Hopes walk takes place along the Evansville Riverfront Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon.

The walk raises awareness for children who have a congenital heart defect.  It's among the most common birth defect in the U.S., affecting approximately one in every 100 babies.  Nearly twice as many children die from defects here than from all forms of childhood cancer combined, according to organizers.

Tshirts will be given out for each registration, which costs $15 for kids and $25 for adults.
