International Kawasaki Disease Awareness Day 26th January 2025

This weekend our iconic HQ in #Newark will light up red to raise awareness of #Kawasaki_Disease the #1 cause of acquired heart disease in children in the UK.

We NEED you to KNOW Kawasaki Disease....
...And here’s why ??

  • UK hospital admissions for Kawasaki Disease have increased rapidly over the past decade.
  • Low awareness of Kawasaki Disease means it’s often misdiagnosed, putting children’s hearts at risk of lifetime damage.
  • Rapid rise in admissions for those with heart complications due to childhood Kawasaki Disease now being seen.
  • We NEED people to KNOW the signs and symptoms of Kawasaki Disease so children can be diagnosed and treated rapidly – to reduce the risk of lifelong heart damage
  • Kawasaki Disease is the #1 cause of acquired heart disease in children in the UK.
