Congenital heart defects are the most common birth defect and each year, about one out of every 100 babies born has a heart defect.
Luckily, the Labatt Family Heart Centre at SickKids here in Toronto is one of the world’s leading centres when it comes to the study and treatment of this common birth defect. Last year, the centre completed 636 paediatric heart operations and 12 heart transplants. Amazing!
This Valentine’s Day you can do something to support SickKids and the work that’s done at the centre. Here’s how:
Give a SickKids Get Better Gift
Gifts include Valentine’s Day craft supplies, a stethoscope or 30 days on a heart saturation monitor, to name a few. View the full catalogue at getbettergifts.com.
Make a Donation and Send a SickKids Card or E-Card
Instead of a traditional Valentine’s Day card, opt for a donation to SickKids on behalf of your loved one. Cards and E-cards are also available when you make a donation. For more information, visit sickkidsfoundation.com/donate.
