National:
Roar ‘N Run
The Roar ‘N Run Virtual Charity Race is a national online CHD Awareness and fundraising event for the Mended Little Hearts Program. Anyone can participate from ANYWHERE! The goal is to raise as much awareness about congenital heart defects and disease as possible while raising funds for the Mended Little Hearts Bravery Bag Program at the same time.

Rock Your Scar
CHD warriors of ALL ages, show us how you embrace your CHD! Everyone’s journey with a Congenital Heart Defect (CHD) is different, but we all gain scars along the way both emotionally and physically. When survivors come through procedures or pass certain milestones whether it be an echocardiogram, a catherization or open-heart surgery, we say they handled it “like a rock star”! We want every child and adult with CHD to feel good about themselves and be proud of who they are-they ARE Rock Stars! So come on, show us how you rock your scar!
The Rock Your Scar 2019 photo contest and national CHD Awareness campaign starts on January 2, 2019 and ends on February 1, 2019. A scar is not required, but being a person who has congenital heart disease is.

A Heartbeat…for many parents, hearing the heartbeat of their unborn child becomes their first, loving bond to that child. It’s no wonder, then, that discovering that their child has a heart defect, whether diagnosed in the womb, shortly after birth or during childhood, can be devastating. Mended Little Hearts, a support program for parents of children with heart defects and heart disease, is dedicated to inspiring hope in those who care for the littlest heart patients of all. Mended Little Hearts offers resources and a caring support network as families find answers and move forward to find healing and hope. Mended Little Hearts of Dallas is a chapter of the national organization, providing support to heart families in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex and surrounding areas. Our first official meeting was held at Children’s Medical Center in Dallas in November of 2011.
