Special service for Canterbury's 'heart angels'
A special service will be held at Christchurch's Abberley Park Hall at 3.30pm on Saturday (November 3) to remember the children who have died from heart conditions.
About 12 Kiwi babies are born with heart defects every week. Many have to undergo multiple open-heart surgeries. It is the most common serious birth abnormality and the leading cause of death for infants and babies in New Zealand.
The Heart Kids charity supports these children - like preschooler Poppy Taggart, pictured with her parents, Jo and Ashley.
Christchurch Family Support co-ordinator Margaret Hewitt-Hawker says Saturday's event is a chance to acknowledge these children and celebrate their lives with other heart families.

Hi, I'm wandering if anyone has a contact number for Kakoi Catering. I'm looking for some catering for an event and have googled but only appears to be on Facebook which I don't do. Thanks
Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?
Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?
