“Your child needs a heart transplant.”
Dr. Kasey Leger of Seattle Children’s Hospital – one of our most promising researchers – is working toward the day when parents of children who survived cancer will never have to hear those words.
Can you imagine how you would feel after watching your child conquer cancer after enduring months of chemotherapy and radiation, only to hear that they need a heart transplant?
That’s why I’m urging you to make a donation today to help advance critical research like Dr. Leger’s. Not only can your gift help advance research, your gift today will be tripled thanks to a matching gift grant.
YES, I WANT TO TRIPLE MY IMPACT
The ability to identify chemo or radiation induced heart damage in the early stages could allow the opportunity to intervene, and potentially change the course of a patient’s treatment before permanent damage occurs. Dr. Leger has been able to identify blood markers that are elevated in children experiencing chemotherapy-induced heart damage. This incredible breakthrough wouldn’t be possible without supporters like you.
Don’t miss this opportunity to have your gift tripled. Together, we can change the conversation. Thank you so much.
