This month's theme is Red or Hearts for heart disease awareness. February is Heart month, so Share Six has joined forces with the Paper Heart Project to spread awareness of heart disease and Congenital Heart Defects. This info is from The Paper Heart Project-CHD Awareness: #paperheartproject Last year on social media, thousands of people participated in the Paper Heart Project, created by Danielle Awwad of Little farm photography. Her 5 years old son SJ was born with 10 different Congenital Heart Defects and Heterotaxy. This project was about taking pictures of paper hearts and simply posting them on social medias with the hashtag #paperheartproject to show some support. This project is a campaign to spread awareness about Congenital Heart Defects. One out of a hundred children are born with a CHD. There are many different types of CHDs and children can suffer from one defect or multiple defects. The severity of the defect can range from mild, meaning a child will need no treatment, to terminal, the defects will ultimately take the child’s life. Congenital Heart Defects are severely under researched and underfunded. Therefore, the more awareness individuals can spread the more funding the heart community hopes to gain. I hope others will join in on this effort to raise awareness whether you are a photographer or not. Take a photo or several photos a heart, post it to social media and hashtag it with #chdawareness #hearthero during the month of February. If the person in the image or taking the picture has had heart surgery please draw a zipper on the heart. I have gone with hearts - a few of which I found naturally made by mother nature. I have used a few old ones from my archives and a couple of more recent ones.
