Get Involved

As a group, we provide non-medical support to those affected by CHD through a variety of means and work to educate the public on Congenital Heart Defects. The following is a list of ways we reach out to our community.

We Got Heart

“We Got Heart” is a nationwide support group specifically geared towards ages 12-19 for all those affected by CHD including family and friends. This is a safe place where teens can talk freely amongst each other about CHD, it’s implications and lifestyle management. Click here to become a member of We Got Heart.

Keep your eyes peeled for exciting upcoming events like:

  • Stadium Night in your area (Sports Team)
  • Annual Retreat
  • Monthly meetings with guest speakers and fun activities

Participate and get involved by:

  • Stuffed Animal Drive for the Comfort Bags
  • Snack Drive for Care Packages
  • Pennies for Heart Drive
  • Participate in Annual IMH National CHD Awareness Walk as a form of community service

Interact with other teens:

For any questions or comments contact the National We Got Heart Director, at wgh@itsmyheart.org.

Big Hearts

It’s My Heart would like to thank the following contributors for their generous donations on behalf of IMH Austin. Without their support, IMH could not continue to grow and support those affected by Congenital Heart Defects.

Because this list is always a work in progress, we might accidentally leave certain key sponsors off the list. Please let us know if we have left your name off the list by mistake by emailing us at info@itsmyheart.org.
Thank you!
 

 

 

DID YOU KNOW?

Nearly twice as many children die from Congenital Heart Defects in the United States each year as from all forms of childhood cancers combined.

Yet funding for pediatric cancer research is 5 times higher than funding for Congenital Heart Defects.
