Our Mission
Enduring Hearts funds research to increase longevity and improve the quality of life for children with a transplanted heart.
Heart transplantation is a life-saving procedure for over 10,000 children born with inoperable heart defects or that later suffer from heart failure caused by cardiomyopathy or other disorders. Currently a heart transplant is not a cure, but a bridge to life. The average lifespan of a transplanted heart is less than 20 years. We believe a child’s heart transplant should last a life, which is why we fund the critical research needed to eliminate rejection, prevent life-threatening complications, and reduce the risk of needing a second transplant, giving each of these extraordinary kids a chance to live the future they deserve.
Our Vision
We envision a world where every child who needs a new heart received one that lasts a lifetime.
