I’m George and I’m 1 in 100!

Challenge yourself to take up a new hobby or finally quit a that habit.
Do it before the year is out and do it for the 1 in 100 babies born with CHD in our region. What will do?
Keep it simple!
Go back to basics and save a little bit each day. If you save £1 every day from 1 January until 10 April, you will have your £100!
What would you do with £100?
At CHSF £100 could pay for…
- Three nights accommodation at hospital for parents while their child is having surgery
AND - A Katie Bear, medal and certificate for a heart warrior after open heart surgery
