So February is CHD Awareness month. Those of us who have had our lives touched by CHD in one way or another look forward to raising public awareness every day not just for the 28 days of February. But I am taking this month to raise not only others awareness of CHD but also my own!! I learned something new today ~ Every 15 minutes a baby is born with a CHD!! I did not know that and was very surprised by that information. It is staggering!! 1 out of every 100 children born has a heart defect yet so many people do not know that. I guess it is like anything - if your life is not personally affected by something you do not know it exists.
So I am asking for help. I would like to spread awareness and try to do something to make a difference. Even if it is a small difference. I am looking for something new to do every day foe month of February. Today I made a donation at Rite Aid to the American Heart Association. Do you guys know of any places taking donations for CHD's? Do you know of any THING I can do? Does not have to be monetary donations.
Let me know about the events that you are aware of. Help me to make a difference!
thank you in advance!
kisses
