Donor Spotlight | Week of July 16

Hope for Hearts
Hope for Hearts proudly supports the Exercise Medicine Program and the Echocardiography Laboratory at SickKids. Their mission is to extend the life expectancy and improve the quality of life of children born with complex cardiac conditions through research, innovation, and education. 

Each year in Canada, one out of every 100 babies born has a heart defect and more than half need surgery to survive. Some of the more complex conditions require lifelong care and repeated surgical interventions. Hope for Hearts is investing in programs that focus on improving the accuracy of diagnosis and promoting a healthy life-style. They are directly impacting outcomes and touching the lives of many children and families.

We would like to thank all of the incredible volunteers and the Founder, Dr. Barbara Cifra, for all of their hard work, support and ongoing fundraising efforts for SickKids. Hope for Hearts has raised over $65,000 since they began fundraising in 2015.
