Wynn Williams Team raises $3000 for Heart Kids
Published: 12/10/2015
A team from Wynn Williams' Christchurch Office took to the ice tubs today and raised over $3,000 for Heart Kids.
The Heart Stopper Challenge requires up to 6 people to sit in an ice bath for 5 minutes. Why would anyone willingly do that?
______________________________________________________________
This is why. Every week in New Zealand, 12 babies are born with congenital heart defects.
Each year about 450 open heart surgeries are performed on children - some of these are on babies in their first days of life.
These little fighters face Heart Stopping Challenges.
During surgery a child’s chest cavity can be filled with an icy slush to slow the heart’s oxygen requirement, giving the surgeon a longer window of operating time.
The
Heart Stopper Challenge
celebrates these brave children, and aims to spread awareness and provide lifelong support for those who battle congenital heart defects.
