Dr.Mani Sivasubramanian is a heart surgeon using his Internet marketing business to fund heart surgery for under-privileged children in India.

Heart surgery is expensive. Many of his patients, from poor families, cannot afford the cost of treatment. So Dr.Mani decided to try and help sponsor the operations. This was the simple concept behind an online adventure that started in 1996.

Ten years later, Dr.Mani's team has raised over $130,000 and funded heart surgery in 47 children, with many more to follow. He's well on his way to achieve an ambitious mission - make high quality heart health care accessible and affordable to every Indian child.

Did one man do this all by himself? ABSOLUTELY NOT. It was made possible by Dr.Mani's network. A social network. A group of caring, generous, passionate people who wanted to make a difference, reach out with a helping hand, change the world and make it a better place. Folks just like you made it possible.

Some of them gave money. Others gave their time. And many helped spread the word - among friends, family and contacts. Over 1 million people have heard the message of Congenital Heart Defects awareness through this effort. And thanks to their dedication and support, many children are now alive, healthy, happy.

You too can help a child with congenital heart defects. Or many. Learn more here - www.DrMani.com
