Story

Congenital heart defects (CHD) affects 1 in 100 children. We're raising awareness as this defect can be a silent killer. 

At 6 weeks we found out our little Posie suffered from a rare form of CHD that affects 5 in 100,000 babies born. Thankfully we found out about her condition before her heart failed as it went unnoticed for 6 weeks of her life.

Given the low awareness, CHD is one of the least funded children's charity's but affects a relatively high number of children.

We're raising awareness for CHD Research to urge women to get their babies checked and triple checked during pregnancy and immediately after birth.

Awareness is crucial. Awareness can help save lives.

We're going to be using the page to make people aware of all the cool stuff we're going to be launching and hopefully you'd love to help. Watch this space for more information on quiz nights, ladies evenings, sporting activities and much more...Ideas are welcome!

Thanks for all your help!
