I walk because....
Congenital Heart Defects are the world's #1 birth defect. Nearly one of every 100 babies is born with CHD.
Congenital Heart Defects are the #1 birth defect related to infant and children deaths.
Here at Wolfson Children's Hospital and Wolfson Children's Terry Heart Institute, we perform over 225 heart surgeries, over 350 Caths both Interventions and EP studies, over 9,000 echocardiograms, 250 fetal echocardiograms, and 12,000 EKG's on children with CHD yearly. We care for patients with CHD from fetal life throughout their adult life.
Each year approximately 40,000 babies are born in the USA with Congenital Heart Defects. Thousands of them will not reach their first birthday and thousands more will die before they reach adulthood.
As advances are made in the field of Pediatric Cardiology Intervention and Surgery, we are finding for the first time in history that there are more adults living with CHD then there are children being born with CHD.
