💖 Valentine’s Day is even more meaningful this year, it coincides with Sweetheart Day, which is Congenital Heart Disease Awareness Day! 💖
Each year in Australia, every day 8 babies are born with congenital heart disease (CHD)
CHD awareness is deeply meaningful to our team. One of our team members, Angel has two children impacted by congenital heart disease - one who continues to inspire us every day and one who is remembered with love. Their journeys bring a special depth of compassion to the support we provide ❤️💙
🎗️ Fast facts about CHD:
• CHD is one of the most common birth defects, with heart conditions present at birth affecting many newborns.
• Around 8 Aussie babies are born with heart conditions daily.
• CHD and childhood-onset heart disease touches the lives of hundreds of thousands of Australians – children, teens, adults and their families.
• There is no known cure and lifelong care can be part of the journey for many.
This Valentine’s Day, let’s celebrate love, courage and resilient little hearts everywhere. 💌💗
