Benefits
Mended Little Hearts of Delaware is a non-profit volunteer-led program providing hope and support to children, families and caregivers impacted by congenital heart disease (CHD) in order to extend and improve their quality of life. We empower families affected by CHD through peer-to-peer support services, education, resources, information, awareness, and advocacy.
The Taclan family began the Cardiac Kids 5k, in 2017, in honor of their daughter, Natalia. The Taclan family describes their first few moments with Natalia: “After twenty-three long days of only holding her hand I was given the amazing opportunity to hold her! I can remember shaking because I didn't know what to expect. It took four or five of the CICU staff to get her to me and a bunch of adjusting and shifting to get both of us comfortable. Natalia did fantastic and maintained her vitals for the two hours she was with me. Although this is not typically what you picture- a freshly born baby plopped on her mother's chest to be held- this was our reality. And it was so precious. I will remember this moment for the rest of my life. These chairs will help families and patients as they recover as well as provide for, just like the one that I had with Natalia". The proceeds from this event will be used to provide support to our cardiac patients and to the Cardiac Unit at the Alfred I DuPont Hospital for Children.
