How Does Tag-a-thon Help Kids With Heart Defects?
The purpose of the Heart Kids Tag-a-thon

Many make donations (over $80,000 has been raised in the last 6 years). The money was used to fund life-saving heart surgery in 19 children, with many more to come. See this report for details.
By joining the Heart Kids Tag-a-thon, you will be helping spread the message of Congenital Heart Defects Awareness far and wide... and maybe another child (or many more) will live because of your help and support.
Would you like to help make that difference?
You can. Today.

Congenital Heart Defects - A Complex Issue
Here's What Makes CHD Unique
CHD IS A GROWING PROBLEM
CHD is not a problem that is going away. While other heart diseases are coming under control, the incidence of CHD remains unchanged. If current trends continue, 20 years from today CHD will become the most significant percentage of our heart - and health care - burden.
CHD IS A NEGLECTED PROBLEM
In many countries, patients with CHD live and die untreated. Surgery for heart birth defects emerged as a specialty in its own right only in the early 1980's. Even today, surgery for CHD accounts for less than 5% of heart operations performed world-wide. Dedicated centers for treating CHD are few and far between.
CHD IS A COSTLY PROBLEM
Most complex birth defects of the heart require multiple procedures for cure. And parents of CHD victims are often young, just starting out in life. Financially insecure, emotionally strained to breaking point, these young families need support and guidance.
CHD IS A LONG TERM PROBLEM
A CHD patient, after treatment, can look forward to living 50 to 80 years more! The path ahead, however, is strewn with obstacles and uncertainties. Late complications; employment and insurance; marriage and children; all are areas of concern.
CHD IS A SILENT PROBLEM
High cholesterol, bypass surgery, angioplasty and gene therapy are the glamorous issues, the media superstars of heart disease. Most of the budget allocations of large organizations are diverted to adult heart disease research. Consequently, funding for research into CHD is scarce.
Neglected, unchallenged, indeed often undetected, CHD pervades communities, affecting the rich and poor alike, in developed as well as backward countries.
