Heart Awareness Week February 7th to 14th

This friday the 3rd in wear red day in support of heart awareness.  I am working with Kerringtons Heart, www.kerringtonsheart.org in order to spread awareness about Congenital Heart Defects (CHD).  Any business that would like to participate to spread the awareness can contact myself.  It consist of your customers purchasing a heart for $1.00, your cost is nothing all you have to do is display them in your windows, counter, or ect.  All you have to do is let me know if you would like to participate and the amount of hearts you think you may need.  We would love to have all the support we can get for this wonderful cause.  This is something dear to my heart and I am working in honor of my daughter Emma Grace. 


Every 15 min a baby is born with a congenital heart defect, this is approximately 1 in every 100 babies born . 4,000 of them will not live to celebrate their 1st Birthday . I pray and hope just like every other parent who has a child born with a congenital heart defect that more awareness comes soon . Their are no cures only repairs or broken hearts !

IF YOU DON'T KNOW SOMEONE WITH A CONGENITAL HEART DEFECT, JUST WAIT.... YOU WILL.... MORE THAN 1 IN EVERY 100 BABIES BORN HAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEIR HEARTS... THERE ARE 35 KNOWN TYPES OF C.H.D..... C.H.D' S ARE THE #1 BIRTH DEFECT, AND THE #1 CAUSE OF DEATH FROM A BIRTH DEFECT...

CHD'S KILL TWICE AS MANY CHILDREN EVERY YEAR AS ALL CHILDHOOD CANCERS COMBINED!!!  C.H.D'S Can affect any family.
I proudly wear this ribbon in support of CHD awareness!
