Just something to think about.
Did you know?
* Congenital Heart Defects are the #1 birth defect.
* About 8 in every 1000 babies (almost 1%) are born with a CHD.
*Nearly twice as many children die from Congenital Heart Defects in the United States each year as from all forms of childhood cancers combined, yet funding for pediatric cancer research is five times higher than funding for CHD. * not minimizing the need for any pediatric cancer research*
*Although some babies will be diagnosed during gestation or at birth, sometimes the diagnosis is not made until days, weeks, months, or even years after. In some cases, CHD is not detected until adolescence or adulthood.
