Petition to Support CHD Awareness Week

Dear Mr McDermott
H. Res 858 is "Supporting the goals and ideals of the National Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Week". Please sign on to this H.Res 858 as a co-sponsor to help get this resolution passed this year.

Our little one year old was born with a potentially fatal heart defect and it was only the great resources of local hospitals that saved his life through surgery. We were lucky and had the condition diagnosed early.

In the wider community, not much is known about heart defects and many children are diagnosed lat and go into severe heart failure. Some require transplants, many die. Please help raise awareness of this important issue.
