Welcome members, visitors and supporters of HeartKids.

The aim of this site is to provide useful information regarding our organisation and its mission, along with providing an avenue of support for HeartKids and their families.

At HeartKids we strive to offer support, encouragement and hope to families of children with Heart Disease, while raising awareness and vital funding into the causes of this chronic disease. While for many families of these children the future is clouded with uncertainty, our goal is to secure the futures of our very special kids. We are also seeking to gain greater public awareness and support for our cause so that we can make a real difference. We have recently partnered with leading cardiologists and researchers with the aim of providing them with financial support to assist them with research and management of children with heart disease.

Brave little Amy loses her fight.

Sadly little Amy Dawson has lost her fight for life succumbing to her heart condition just 3 days before she was due to fly to the US for revolutionary treatment.
