International Childhood Heart Disease Awareness Month

Many people are unaware of childhood heart disease (CHD) – and its prevalence in Australia. February is the time to support Australia’s little battlers in the fight against heart disease. The month of February brings Valentine’s Day, so why not celebrate by helping a heart in need?

Did you know?

• Childhood heart disease is the single biggest killer of children under the age of one in Australia.
• Eight babies are born with a heart defect in Australia every day. That is almost 3,000 every year.

Get involved in the fight against heart disease this February by:

• Making a donation
• Volunteering with HeartKids Australia in events such as Sweetheart Day
• Participating in a fundraiser
• Raising awareness on social media.
