The Mike and Melissa Einck family was chosen to be the 2020 Heart Angel family at the Superhero Heart Run in Omaha, NE. Proceeds go to “Heart Heroes”, which supports children and families affected by Congenital Heart Defects by distributing superhero capes to kids and offering programs and awareness initiatives to increase funding for CHD research. Molly got her cape in 2017 and the Eincks participated in the run in 2018. They were not able to participate in last year’s run due to Molly’s passing. This program continues to be a blessing to the Eincks. Due to the pandemic, the 2020 event was held virtually.
