DID YOU KNOW...
Congenital Heart Defects are America's #1 birth defect.
Nearly 1 in every 100 babies is born with a CHD.
CHD's cannot be cured. The heart must be monitored throughout life.
Most will need MULTIPLE heart surgeries. Some may even need a transplant.
91,000 lives are lost each year due to congenital heart defects.
Congenital heart defects occur frequently and are often life threatening,
yet research into them is GROSSLY under-funded.
