Welcome!
Welcome to Healing little Hearts online!
Our mission is to fund research at Children’s Hospital Boston that will aid in the treatment and cure of pediatric heart defects. Specifically, research on tissue engineered heart valve replacement is one of the greatest hopes for reducing the number of surgeries over the course of a child’s life and reducing the risks associated – from death to developmental impairment – with multiple open heart surgeries. Tissue engineered heart valves will be an exponential leap in the survival and quality of life for children born with life threatening heart problems.

Healing little Hearts was started in June 2007 by Marc and Kelly Weglowski along with their daughter, Jillian, and it immediately grew with nearly 20 volunteers of friends and family. The Weglowskis' son, Brady, now 2 years old, was born with a congenital heart defect and has spent many days and nights at Children’s Hospital Boston. Among many of the things they have learned during this difficult time, is their desire to give back to Children’s Hospital and to help the many children that also depend on Children’s Hospital.
Healing little Hearts will hold its 1st Annual Fundraising Event to benefit Children’s Hospital Boston on March 1, 2008, at The New Bedford Whaling Museum.
The event will be hosted by WBZ-TV Sports Anchor, Steve Burton, along with local radio personality Michael Rock of FUN 107 (WFHN). The event will include a live and silent auction, great food provided by some of the area's top caterers, entertainment, and more!
