local support group meetings, and through an online list serve. Kids With Heart NACHD Inc. continues to raise awareness through local events across the U.S, displays at fairs, and numerous awareness projects such as car magnets. Kids With Heart NACHD Inc. also has an extensive library of congenital heart defect books. Hospitals throughout the U.S. have bought our books and have them displayed in parent libraries. These books are also available to parents to purchase at our low price.
In 2003, Kids With Heart National Association for Children's Heart Disorders started a new endeavor: congenital heart defect research. We will provide funding for the most promising research in the area of congenital heart defects in order to assist in finding a cause, cure, and or prevention of these deadly defects.
For the year 2007, Kids With Heart National Association for Children's Heart Disorders hopes to obtain enough funding to provide a newsletter to all our of members. Our newsletter will not only contain information about Kids With Heart NACHD Inc., but also the latest news on congenital heart defects.
Of course, all this would not be possible if not for our dedicated volunteers! We would like to thank all our volunteers that have been a huge part in helping Kids With Heart National Association for Children's Heart Disorders in the fight aganist congenital heart defects.
