Information Day 2015
Confirmed speakers to include antenatal diagnosis and care, holiday worries, how to talk to your children about the heart, vaccines for heart kids, how to use an automatic defibrillator, and advances in surgery.
There are special sessions for dads, new parents, older children, and grown up heart kids, with stalls from other heart charities.
This is a free event, with lunch included and free parking but, as places are limited, we do ask that you live in the North West or receive care from Alder Hey or Manchester cardiac units.
For more details and booking check out the event page heartchild.info/infoday.
Thank you Smart Storage
Smart Storage have taken us on as their charity of the year and have already raised £380 for us with a sponsored Santa Dash.
We have a storage facility with the Bootle branch which is usually piled high with your donations ready for our next charity shop. Each time we run a week’s shop we can raise over £1000 so this storage facility is vital for our fundraising.
Thank you Smart Storage
Jump Nation Bounce-a-thon
Here are our exhausted bouncers after the hour of trampolining at Jump Nation. We had a fabulous time.
Robyn – in the centre – has raised over £1000 and others have raised around £500. We’ll have a grand total when all the sponsor money has been paid in. A huge thank you to everyone – and we can’t wait to do this again.
There was a hard game to play – spot the heart child. Sometimes the heart child was the one doing the upside-down somersaults and encouraging the unfit adults to try too!!
Welcome to our Patrons
We are delighted to introduce you to our new patrons – Dr Denise Kitchiner and Dr Raman Patel. These doctors have now retired, but will be familiar to so many of our families – and many of our children owe their lives to their interventions. We are honoured to have them on board. Please have a look at the patrons page on our website. https://heartchild.info/web/about/patrons.
