"Recovering from heart surgery just months after giving birth was the hardest thing I’ve ever done.” - Sarah
It’s the moment you’ve been waiting months for. There’s the incomparable excitement of meeting your new baby for the first time. They arrive healthy and beautiful, and with them, a rush of joy and love you can’t begin to describe.
And just three days later, your world is upturned. Your heart begins to malfunction, and you suddenly need life-saving open heart surgery.
Every day, New Zealanders like Sarah are robbed of what should be precious moments with their loved ones due to the impact of heart disease. Oftentimes, it’s completely preventable – but not without access to appropriate healthcare and treatment.
Until 30 September 2025, every dollar you donate will become $2, up to the value of $70,000. Your gift will help fund world-class training for New Zealand cardiologists so that they can bring home vital new treatments, skills and techniques - and help save lives.
