Last year was a blast! We met so many heart parents and heard so many inspirational stories, and some heartbreaking ones. This year we would love to honor your child through the month of February and spread CHD awareness.
If your child has recently been diagnosed with a CHD, you can request one of our newborn care packages, apply for a grant, and search for other resources.
