Those that are born with obstacles in their path, but show astonishing courage to
overcome them and carry on regardless.
These are the superheroes that we must celebrate and applaud.
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common types
of birth defect, affecting up to 8 in every 1,000 babies born in the UK.
To you and I, that’s 8 superheroes that need a little help from us.
Children with CHD have the same needs as any other child.
They face challenges, such as making friends, understanding their
body as they grow, school, play and where they fit in society.
In addition, however, children with CHD must navigate a parallel world;
a world of cardiologists, echocardiograms, electrocardiograms,
pacemakers, defibrillators and regular surgery. No matter how strong
their superpowers may be, they need our support to help negotiate this
maze of medical intervention and find happiness in the world outside.
At Heart Heroes, we have the power to make that difference.
With your help, we support families of children living with CHD through
a range of family events, fun activities and play therapy.
WE ARE HEART HEROES....
