A North Orwell teenager has raised thousands of dollars by walking three miles for local heart awareness.<\/p>\n

Kelton Raymond, 14, participated in the Southern Tier Heart Walk at Otsiningo Park in Binghamton on April 10. The event was a fundraiser for the American Heart Association.<\/p>\n

On that cold snowy morning, he was on the Guthrie Clinic Cardiology Department\u2019s team called \u201cA-Fib You Not.\u201d His mother, Temperance, also accompanied him during the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is his second year participating in the walk,\u201d said Temperance. \u201cHe raised $1,000 last year and was determined to raise even more this time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kelton set a goal to raise $2,500, which he quickly attained with a kick-a-thon organized by The EDGE Martial Arts in Towanda. Donations for that event are obtained for each kick that students like Kelton complete. He reset his goal to $5,000 and reached it prior to the walk date. Altogether, his team raised around $6,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt felt pretty good to do the walk again and I\u2019m glad that I raised a lot of money to help people,\u201d said Kelton.<\/p>\n

He enjoys the annual walk because it can benefit people with heart conditions like his. He has atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia, a common type of supraventricular tachycardia. The condition is characterized by irregular and rapid heartbeats that start and end quickly.<\/p>\n

Kelton was three-years-old when AVNRT was first suspected in him, but it wasn\u2019t caught on a monitor until he was eight. Doctors heard his heart racing at 280 to 300 beats per minute and abruptly go to a normal rate. He would eventually have heart ablation surgery to help his condition.<\/p>\n

To pay it forward, he now walks for people like his grandmother nicknamed Happy, who also has AVNRT and had the same surgery as him.<\/p>\n

His charitable spirit doesn\u2019t end at heart walks though. He is already planning a fundraiser to help Ukrainian children who have suffered from the Russian invasion of Ukraine. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
