Story
For those who has been around me will know I’ve recently been diagnosed with heart valve disease and an abnormal arrhythmia. Having had these all my life and only just finding out was daunting but with the help of the NHS specialist I’ve been able to gain an understanding of my diagnosis, receive medicine and been given continual support and treatment throughout the whole current process and for the rest of my life. With that said, this is my way of wanting to give back and I believe Tiny Tickers is that perfect way.

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. 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.
