Mani S. Sivasubramanian

Dr.Mani Sivasubramanian is a heart surgeon who actively spreads awareness about congenital heart disease (CHD) and raises funds to sponsor heart surgery for under-privileged children in India.

His fundraising efforts involve writing, with a share of profits from every book sold going to help a child live. The non-profit Dr.Mani Children Heart Foundation has already funded heart surgery in 151 children - with many more to follow.

This was made possible by a network of fantastic people just like you who have bought, read and enjoyed the books Dr.Mani has written. He hopes that you'll continue to support this initiative and spread word about CHD awareness.

And buy a book - or ten.

You're helping heal a child's heart!
