Meet some of our Heart Heroes

Donating to Jump directly contributes to saving lives and promoting a healthier future for children across Canada - children like Julian and Alyssa.

Julian

Pediatric Stroke Survivor 

At six months old, doctors discovered Julian had a hole in his heart. He underwent open heart surgery at three years old and afterward suffered a pediatric stroke. Julian is now five years old and is still actively recovering.


Julian’s mom, Joyce, says, “It's so important to advocate for pediatric Stroke and spread awareness that strokes happen at any age." She emphasizes, "It can happen to anyone, and knowing the signs is critical.”

Alyssa

Born with a Heart Condition 

Alyssa was born with a congenital heart defect called Tetralogy of Fallot. Alyssa had her first heart surgery when she was just five months old.


Her mom, Megan, says, "Alyssa wouldn't be here if today's medicine wasn't as advanced as it is. Many moons ago, kids didn't make it to their teenage years with this defect. Thanks to continuing education and research, new ways to cure and maintain these issues and many others are possible!"
