Aster Volunteers is proud to celebrate the successful conclusion of the fifth edition of Heart to Heart Cares 2025, a month-long global campaign promoting heart health and supporting underprivileged children in need of life-saving cardiac surgeries. This year’s initiative, held from September 29 to October 28, 2025, engaged nearly 32,000 registered volunteers across the GCC and India, all united in a shared mission to take every step for healthier hearts and brighter futures. The closing ceremony was held at Zabeel Park, Dubai, on November 2, 2025, in the presence of Dr. Azad Moopen, Founder Chairman of Aster DM Healthcare, along with senior leadership from Aster DM Healthcare, dignitaries, and community members. The event brought together over 2,500 attendees and featured a Mega Walk, vibrant cultural performances, and celebrations marking UAE National Day 2025, reflecting the spirit of unity and compassion. Through this year’s campaign, Aster DM Foundation and associated hospitals pledged to support at least 50 additional free pediatric cardiac surgeries, bringing the cumulative total to 214 surgeries over the past four years. Every step taken by registered participants, whether 10,000 steps or an equivalent number of calories burned, directly contributed to this life-saving cause, demonstrating the power of collective action in improving both personal and community heart health. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our volunteers, partners, and participants worldwide for making Heart to Heart Cares a resounding success. Together, we continue to walk towards a healthier tomorrow, one step at a time.
