Executive Director, Enduring Hearts
Before I went to work for Enduring Hearts, a 501 C3 non-profit started here in Ga, I thought that a heart transplant was the "cure". I had no idea that a transplant was only a bridge to life and that on average a heart transplant lasted only 10-12 years.
Image a child with heart failure, waiting for another child to die so they can get their new heart. It is really unthinkable as a parent. Although congenital heart defects are the most common birth defect, impacting 1 out of 1000 children, very little research has been put forth around children with heart disease and specifically those that have late stage failure and need a heart transplant.
Enduring Hearts is funding innovative pediatric heart transplant research nationally to help make that transplant the cure and give children the chance to live long happy lives. In fact our scientific advisory committee has identified $3.1M that they believe we need to fund over the next several years to answer questions that can save lives.
Brief Description of Product or Service:
Enduring Hearts is the only organization dedicated solely to funding pediatric heart transplant research to help children with heart failure have the chance to live longer, healthier lives.
