Today, we are unveiling a compassionate team focussed on a vital issue. Ishith, Gabriella and Michael are founding members of the Baby Heart Foundation, a charity with the mission of raising awareness and funds for treatment of congenital heart disease (CHD); specifically, CHD in infants. CHD is a condition that develops before birth and affects approximately one percent of the population. Its cause is largely unknown and treatment, in the form of open heart surgery, often needs to begin just moments after birth.
The team at @babyheartfoundation are doing their absolute best to not only make us aware of the disease, but also inform those suffering of the supportive community that exists for them.
We spoke about Ishith’s personal journey with CHD, and how it inspired the inception of Baby Heart Foundation. We addressed the specifics of CHD, including its prevalence and severity, and what it takes to not only treat the disease, but also live with it into adulthood. We discussed the mission and fundraising goals of Baby Heart Foundation, and how you can support them. Finally, the team shared some stories of their proud CHD warriors; the indomitable souls who are living through their condition and hardships, but showing that they refuse to let it get the best of them.
Our chat was sobering, but enlightening and inspiring. It always makes me feel better knowing that there are people out there, like Ishith, Gabriella and Michael, who are going above and beyond for such a noble cause.
