A baby is born with a serious heart condition every two hours in the UK and despite congenital heart disease being one of the biggest killers of infants, only around half of congenital heart defects are picked up during routine prenatal scanning.

Unfortunately our baby girl slipped through the net and had 4 undiagnosed heart defects, she spent the first month's of her life in critical condition and on life support, went through 5 surgeries, and has many medical complications still to overcome, but she survived! And now we want to help raise funds so the amazing Tiny Tickers can provide additional training to sonographers so heart defects can be picked up prior to babies being born!

With your help we can provide a safety net for the 1,000 babies each year that leave hospital with their heart defect undetected, increasing detection rates, improving a baby’s chances of survival and long-term quality of life.
