13 babies are diagnosed with a congenital heart defect (CHD) in the UK every day, and your money will make a huge difference to the 17,000+ babies, children and adults living with CHD in our region. Thank you.
We are wearing red because... [your story here]
In june 2024, we found out we were expecting a baby boy. When we went to the 20 weeks scan, they found out he had a probably with his heart and got referred to leeds hospital for the fetal clinic. When we went to leeds hospital, it was the worst & hardest day our lives.. we found out our little boy had DI-george syndrome and truncus Arteriosus, which can course so many problems with physical or mental issues, leading to him having surgery straight after he was born, then 6 months of recovery but still might not survive it. Only a hand full of children have been able to live their full life.
But we had the hardest to have a medical termination. We didnt want to take the risk of him not having life and he had 2 siblings at home which it wouldnt of been fair on them...
Im wanting to raise money to this charity to help with fund and families that are going through this, as it close to our hearts and im doing this in memory of arthur
