Heart of Life Fund

---

The Heart of Life Fund was founded in 1997 by grateful parents Gary Silverman and Robbie Shear, after the care their son Benjamin received for cardiac conditions.

This community initiative supports the work of Dr. Christo Tchervenkov and Dr. Marie Béland, two leading pediatric cardiologists at the Children’s. Through their network and a series of events organized throughout the year, the Fund has raised more than $1.28 million to meet the most urgent needs of the cardiology department.
