The cause

OUR MISSION: TO BE A TRUE SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN WITH HEART DISEASE AND THEIR FAMILIES.

Did you know that in Quebec...

1 in 100 children are born with a heart disease or defect that will require medical follow-up
900 new families face this diagnosis each year
Heart defects in children are 80 times more common than cancer and 26 times more common than cystic fibrosis
30% to 50% of children with heart disease will require at least one major operation
97% of heart operations are successful
Heart defects are the most common cause of death in children
