CHUF's mission is to make life better for children and young people who are born with or who develop heart conditions by providing lifelong support to them and their families. CHUF supports children and families who receive treatment at the Children’s Heart Unit based at the Freeman Hospital and the many other hospitals providing care for cardiac patients throughout the North of England. Cheryl and her husband Stu received so much support when at the Freeman when their baby Mia underwent open heart surgery at 18 days old
