So many of you marked National Heart Month in February with us by wearing red, attending or hosting an event, tweeting, sharing and more - what a month!

We want to extend a massive thank you to everyone who got involved in whatever way, no matter how small your role may have felt.

Together, you raised over £3,000 (and counting!) plus you raised awareness of congenital heart disease and helped us to continue our support to heart families. Thank you.

Whether you’re a first-time fundraiser, a family, part of a club, school or community – we’ve got lots of tips and ideas to help you on your fundraising adventures for ECHO and will be there supporting you along the way.

Will it be a zipwire adventure, a hike across London Bridges, an epic trek across Cambodia or a dragon boat race? You decide!

Check out our new 2019 fundraising events plus our inspiration booklet for other ways you can support ECHO this year.

You can also always check out the events calendar on our website.

Get in touch with us hello@echo-uk.org​ if you have any questions or want to register for an event!

Please give a warm ECHO welcome to Kate who is joining our small team as Fundraising and Development Lead.

Kate will be part-time and hopes to build relationships with supporters to help us help more families. Kate has experience of the CHD community and loves charities - she has been volunteering for ECHO for a while already and has known ECHO over the years through previous jobs.

Kate is a mum of two daughters and when she is not working for ECHO will have her hands full.

Best wishes from Team ECHO,

Samantha, Emma, Sinéad and Kate
