Events

There are children who desperately need the output of Congenital Heart Disease Research, on both surgical and non-invasive correction, on heart transplantation, on prevention. This critical research results in saving lives. Together with The Children’s Heart Foundation we hold a Research Reception event in February, National Heart Month. This fundraising event is an informative evening presentation with remarks by doctors and professionals in the field.
