I would like to invite you all to like, share & consider attending this years High Tea for Children living with Congenital (Childhood) Heart Disease (CHD) with ALL proceeds to HeartKids of South Australia Inc. Jones Property Services are proudly sponsoring the event to help promote awareness and raise much needed funds to assist families with support through Family Support Co-coordinators, Assisting families with emergency travel and accommodation needs, information seminars providing practical advice from experts for families affected by childhood heart disease and research just to name a few. Some startling statistics: *Six babies are born with a heart defect in Australia every day. That is over 2,200 every year! *Childhood heart disease is one of the biggest killers of children under the age of one. Approx. half of children diagnosed with heart disease require surgery to correct the defect. *Each week more than 4 Australians pass away as a result of a congenital heart defect. *It is estimated that 32,000 children (under 18 years of age) are currently living with CHD in Australia. *Some children acquire heart conditions during childhood, e.g. cardiomyopathy, Kawasaki disease or as a result of rheumatic fever. *A disproportionate number of indigenous children suffer from acquired heart disease – often as a result of rheumatic fever, which is prevalent in many communities. If you would like to attend or assist with donations, please contact Natalie Jones (details on the Jones Propery Services page) or follow the link to the High Tea for CHD page.
