Happy Little Heart Day!

Little Heart Day is here! 💖

Right now, communities across Aotearoa are showing up in the most incredible ways. People are pulling on their red shirts, lacing up for charity fitness classes, running raffles, baking, creating, and finding every reason they can to rally together for a cause that affects more families than most people realise. Look out for buildings lighting up red tonight in cities and towns around the country, and keep an eye out for billboards nationwide, because today, Little Heart Day is everywhere, and that visibility matters more than you might think.

Because every week, around 12 families in Aotearoa face the reality of a child with a heart condition. Heart Kids NZ is there through diagnosis, hospital stays, and the lifelong journey that follows, providing support, resources, and hope when it’s needed most. And none of it would be possible without people like you.

If you're out there wearing red, hosting something, or just want to show your support, we want to see it 📸 Tag us in your photos and videos so we can share the aroha, and if you're in a position to donate, even a small contribution makes a genuine difference. Head to littleheartday.org.nz to give today.

Thanks for being part of it🫶
