WHY WE FUND

Research Saves Lives.

Research can seem like such an elusive process with far-off results we may never understand. Our interest in research comes from knowing that there could have been more options for Brett.

We know that research for CHD is severely underfunded as compared to other childhood illnesses. It will take all of us working together to continue spreading awareness and to making progress year after year for better outcomes.

⬢ Pre and postnatal diagnosis
⬢ More treatment options
⬢ Less medication
⬢ Reducing other potential risks
⬢ Fewer procedures
⬢ Fewer surgeries
⬢ Less hospitalization
⬢ Better monitoring
⬢ More mental health support
