How a Simple T-Shirt Can Speak Volumes for CHD Awareness

The Brave Breakdown

Wearing a CHD awareness tee isn’t just fashion — it’s advocacy.
Every time someone asks about your shirt, you’re opening the door to understanding, compassion, and real change for CHD families. Awareness leads to research. Research leads to funding. And funding saves lives.

A Shirt That Starts Conversations

When you wear a Born Brave Boutique shirt, you're not just showing support — you're starting a conversation.

Whether it says “The Beat Goes On”, “Kind Hearts Keep The Beat”, or features our signature heart, each design sparks curiosity. When someone asks, “What does your shirt mean?” — you have a chance to speak from the heart.

You get to say:
“It’s for congenital heart disease. My child — or someone I love — is a heart warrior.”

Why Awareness Matters

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect, yet so many people still don’t know what CHD means — or how it impacts families emotionally, physically, and financially.

Awareness changes that. It turns blank stares into empathy.
It shifts assumptions into action.

When more people understand CHD, we see:

• More donations to CHD-focused medical research 
• More funding for pediatric cardiac ICUs
• More support programs for families in crisis
• More inclusion for CHD warriors in school and community life

It’s Bigger Than a Tee

Every purchase of a Born Brave awareness shirt helps plant seeds of change. It helps fund our care package mission, keep families seen, and inspire others to get involved.

It’s a wearable reminder that these brave little hearts — and their families — deserve attention, funding, and love.

From Our Community

"I wore my ‘Born To Make A Difference’ shirt while running errands, and someone stopped me to ask what it meant. Turns out, her nephew was born with CHD. We had this instant connection — like we understood each other without saying much at all."
— Inspired by real conversations shared by CHD families in the Born Brave community

Let Your Shirt Speak For Them

Each one spreads the message and helps fund our care package donations.

Awareness doesn’t always start with a speech—maybe sometimes, it just starts with a shirt.
