This year sees the celebration of Little Hearts Matter's 10thanniversary.
To mark this Tesco's will be selling heart-shaped cookies in theirstores during February.
Up to 600 children are diagnosed with only half a functioning heart eachyear. These children need major surgery within days of birth. More andmore children are living into adulthood, but their hearts will never benormal. Many face a heart transplant in their teens.
So let's spare a thought for children with half a heart this month.
