Although all of their stories are different, they all have one thing in common. They all live with Congenital Heart Defects {CHD} and we don’t call them Heart Warriors for nothing. Each of them has had at least one open heart surgery with many of them having two or three, not to mention countless other surgeries and ongoing treatments to help keep them healthy. You would never know by simply looking at them… they are all strong, beautiful and brave. I was so touched by all of their stories and I know you will be too. Be inspired & see more images…
Get Involved. Did you know? 1 out of every 100 babies are born each year with a CHD, making CHD the #1 birth defect worldwide. Nearly twice as many children die from CHD in the United States each year as from all forms of childhood cancers combined, it’s the #1 cause of birth defect related deaths worldwide. {Learn more facts} It’s My Heart needs support and volunteers to continually meet the needs of the CHD families and community. To learn more about how you can help support the cause please visit their website.
