CHAMPS summer camp.

Mending Little Hearts is a Trusted Saskatoon Non- Profit.
Why was the fund was started? The fund was initially needed to fund CHAMPS camp. CHAMPS Camp was created because Lynne and Juanita (Heart Moms) saw a need to help heart children and their parents. CHAMPS stands for Children's Healthy-Heart Monitoring Program of Saskatchewan. The camp allows children to meet other children that have faced similar struggles as well as learn more about their specific heart condition while being physically active. Now the
Mending Little Hearts Fund helps to also support equipment for pediatric cardiology like iPads, blankets and home monitoring equipment. The fund also helps to raise awareness of the prevalence of pediatric congenital and acquire heart disease.
