Heart to Art Toques by Martia

Heart to Art by Martia

Luminance

During her recovery period, Martia began knitting hats to keep herself busy, but now, this pastime has become a greater cause.

Martia is creating awareness about PPCM and organ donation with each loop she knits into her meaningful headwear, and a portion of the sale of each hat goes to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

 

All toques are handmade with ❤️
Made possible by Martia's second chance.

Martia

Homegrown

Martia, a wife and mother from East Preston, NS, turned her passion for crafting and knitting into a meaningful cause after recovering from a life-altering event.

Just seven months after giving birth to her son, Martia became very sick and was admitted to hospital. After being diagnosed with heart failure, Martia underwent an emergency bypass and eventually received a heart transplant. Further diagnosis confirmed she had Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM).

It's Martia's profound gratitude for the gift of life she received from an organ donor that has given her a newfound appreciation, allowing her to cherish every precious moment with her family and friends.

Now, with every hat she creates, Martia spreads awareness and gives back – turning her second chance into a chance to help others.

February is Heart Month ❤️

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare form of heart failure that can occur during the last month of pregnancy or within the first five months post-partum.

PPCM affects as many as 1 in 1,000 women per year.

While PPCM cases are low in Canada, early diagnosis and proper management remain crucial for improving outcomes for women affected by this condition.
