Sweetheart Day is an annual event held on 14 February 2021. It is also known as International Congenital Heart Defect (CHD) Awareness Day. The day is designed to raise awareness and funds to support the 8 babies born everyday with a heart defect. That is one every three hours.

Despite being a serious life-threatening condition, over 65,000 Australian babies, children and adults are currently living with CHD, yet they continue to face unique challenges for the rest of their lives, including repeated heart surgeries and ongoing medical treatment.

Get involved this February by:

• Organising a fundraiser
• Raising awareness on social media
• Making a donation to help HeartKids reach their goal
