Our Mission

The Rycker’s Heart Heroes Project provides care,gives hope, and raises awareness to and for families affected by CHD (Congenital Heart Defects). We give hope to families who are in the hospital after heart surgery. We help families in Children’s Hospitals locally in the Greater Pittsburgh area and we will also help families nationally through our Heart Heroes Family Fund. Our most notable project is The Rycker Roo Project which you can read about here. We provide Mamaroos to Cardiac Units to help calm infants after open heart surgery or other cardiac procedures, we also provide Mamaroos to families after they leave the hospital through our Mamaroo borrowing program. All we ask is that the family donates the Mamaroo back to The Rycker Roo Project, so that another heart hero can have the same sense of calm. If you know a family that might need help during a hospital stay and/or recovery you can fill out our contact form here. The support we have had for the Project has been amazing and we are amazed by the outpouring of encouragement and to see how in such a short time we have already touched the lives of so many, is just beautiful to see! If you would like to help us make an impact, by helping,donating, or fundraising you can either go to the menu above, or scroll down to see some of the ways you can help to make an impact and be apart of The Rycker’s Heart Heroes!
