Little Hearts Matter will have over 70 volunteers and supporters outside and inside the ground and the teams will be led onto the pitch by two mascots who are both children born with only half a heart – Paige, 12 yrs, a Blues fan, and George 14yrs, a West Ham United fan.
Supporters will be encouraged to donate around the ground on the day and also by text message and it is expected that over one million viewers on Sky Sports will be similarly encouraged to donate by texting “HELP22 £3” to 70070.

About Little Hearts Matter:
Little Hearts Matter is the national charity that offers support to anyone affected when a child has only half a working heart. The charity primarily exists to alleviate the isolation, fear and lack of understanding which is created when a child has an incurable heart condition. These conditions are non-correctable and the most serious that exist. These children will die without major surgery within days, or even hours of birth. A generation ago their life expectancy was a few hours. Today, a series of revolutionary surgical operations re-plumb the heart enabling the one pump to circulate the blood throughout the body. The children lead full lives but don’t have the same energy level as their peers. www.lhm.org.uk
