Grand
Cayman, September 16, 2020)
Team Nolan, the paediatric program of the Cayman Heart Fund, has
donated to a local family with a child undergoing cardiology
healthcare.
“Every
15 minutes a baby is born with a congenital
heart defect (CHD)
and one in 100 babies are born with a CHD.” says
Ailian Evans, CHF Board member and founder of Team Nolan. “Our
mission is to
raise awareness about babies born with CHDs and to help local
families who are in need.”

The
Team Nolan Financial Assistance Program provides financial grants to
families in Cayman, assisting them with expenses associated with
urgent paediatric cardiology health care. Grants
may be awarded in relation to everyday expenses such as utilities,
food, and transportation costs.

Like
all charities, the Cayman Heart Fund has been hit hard by the
COVID-19 pandemic. Team Nolan was forced to postpone its largest
awareness and fundraising event, KIDSFEST, originally planned for
June 27 2020. However, children with heart problems still need access
to cardiovascular care, and the Team Nolan financial assistance
program is designed to help these families in times of hardship.
During the difficult COVID-19 lockdown periods, Team Nolan organized
an online Zumbathon hosted by The School of Fitness allowing the
public to join in and make donations online while enjoying a great,
fun workout from the safety of their homes. The June 27th
Zumba event raised over $2,500 KYD.

Brenda
Bush, recipient of the grant said “I
really appreciate the help of Team Nolan and the Cayman Heart Fund
during these difficult times. I admire the work of Ailian and Sean of
Team Nolan – having the strength to help others despite their own
personal tragedy is inspirational.”
