It’s not for the accolades or the glory. It’s for a life without limitations.

Being born into a life without limitations is something we take for granted. But when you’re staring down the barrel of CHD, not a single day is taken for granted. Our team of medical scientists know this all to well. They’ve fought the devastation of CHD their entire careers, but they also know great progress has already been realized. Focusing on the medical breakthroughs and developments, they’re driven to find the cure, and your contributions go directly to their in-lab research.

The growth of a cure.

Fully Functional Heart

Scientists and researchers are exploring how stem cells can grow and organize into a functional heart. They are currently replicating the framework that creates the signaling process that guides the pluripotent stem cells.

Bioengineered Heart Patch

Stem cell research has also led to the development of heart patches that can help regenerate tissue when implanted onto a heart damaged from heart attacks or severe defects.

Natural Heart Prototypes

Researchers have successfully grown three-dimensional heart tissue and “mini” hearts in the laboratory. They are not fully functional but have contributed greatly to the study of heart diseases and treatments.

Heart Cells Created

One of the biggest breakthroughs in recent years is the ability to reprogram a patient’s stem cells to create heart cells that can beat autonomously just like natural heart cells.

Pluripotent stem cells are the Building Blocks

Scientists are particularly interested in the pluripotent stem cell because they have the unique ability to develop into any tissue or cell type in the body. Harnessing the power to guide these cells is the key to repairing and regenerating damaged heart tissue and eventually grow a fully functional heart.

You’re not supporting the business. You’re funding the cure.

$200k a month will fund 25 to 30 scientists that will change lives. You have an opportunity to be on the forefront of a medical breakthrough. Almost all of your donation will go directly to in-lab development of a heart. And if we can grow a heart, imagine what else your direct support of our scientists could bring about, like more affordable and accessible treatments.
