Your gentle touch, your tender care. A smile as bright as sunshine; a heart of no compare.
A spirit that will glow forever, in the memories that we share.

Heart Screening Update

The heart screening event that we had originally planned for October 22nd has been moved to Saturday, December 3rd, from 8:30-4pm at Downingtown High School West.  All children ages 5-19 are welcome to participate.

An ECG will be performed on participants who have registered online before the event.   The test takes a few minutes and is non-invasive and painless.

Of the 3,000+ hearts that have been checked through Simon's Fund heart screening events, about 30 have been found to need follow up testing for potentially life-threatening issues in children who have no symptoms and no family history of heart conditions.   

Registration will open on November 4th at www.SimonsFund.org.  Please help us spread the word!
