A Heart Hero is a child with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD). CHD can be detected at birth, later in life or even prior to birth. Heart Heroes may need one surgery to correct the defect, or may need routine complex medical procedures throughout their life in order to maintain their heart health. Heart Heroes have exceptional strength because of their CHD. They show great courage which has carried them through life-saving operations, countless doctors’ appointments, pokes, prods and hospital stays. Thus, Heart Heroes have been empowered with a superhero cape to help sustain their incredible bravery. Heart Heroes, Inc.'s mission is to provide support and comfort to children and families affected by congenital heart defects (CHD) through the distribution of superhero capes, programs to offer support and funding for CHD research.
