Congenital Heart Disease is considered to be the most common birth defect, and is a leading cause of birth-defect related
deaths worldwide.
Despite the fact that CHD affects millions of families, a disproportionately small amount of funding is currently available
for parent/patient educational services, research, and support.
By sharing our experiences with the media and providing information about CHD, we hope to raise public awareness about
conditions that affect approximately 40,000 babies each year in the United States alone.
It is our sincere hope that efforts to educate the public will result in additional funding for support and educational
services, scientific research, and improved quality of care for our children and adults.
