1 in 125 babies are born with a heart defect in the UK. One of those was my scrumptious nephew Jacob. Tiny Tickers has supported and continues to be a lifeline for Jacob, Claire, Cam, Lilly and Everleigh. I am committed to raising as much as I can so they can continue their lifesaving support for other families.

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.
