Dear Friends of the Myocarditis Foundation,
Myocarditis is the 3rd leading cause of Sudden Death in Children & Young Adults and accounts for 45% of Heart Transplants in the U.S.
In March of 2025, the Myocarditis Foundation will be celebrating our 20th year of supporting people affected by Myocarditis.
The Myocarditis Foundation is a patient resource and advocate. Since myocarditis is hard to diagnose, we are often the sole source of consolidated information for frustrated patients and their families looking for answers. Whether the need is finding the right medical provider or just someone that understands, the Foundation has contacts that can help in any circumstance.
Our Mission is three-fold:
- Raising awareness & educating both the public as well as the medical communities on Myocarditis
- Raising funds to support Myocarditis Research through our Fellowship Grants
- Supporting patients and their families who have been affected by Myocarditis through referrals and family meetings with Myocarditis specialists and researchers
In the 20 years since Candace Moose and Dr. Leslie Cooper realized the need for and started the Myocarditis Foundation, the Foundation has helped over 8 million people around the world.
People come to us in need of information both on the disease and where to go for care by someone who understands the disease.
Sadly, to continue this, we need outside financial support. We have been careful with how we invest and spend our donations and have been able to keep our administrative ratio around 10%.
The Myocarditis Foundation is recognized as a Platinum level charity by Candid / GuideStar. Less than 1% of 501c3 charities are Platinum members.
We are here to help them 24/7 with whatever help and direction for care that they need, be it our website, e-mails, or personal calls to us for help.
Please be there for us,
for those that suffer,
and for the families of those that have been lost.
To continue our commitment to battling myocarditis we need your help. Consider donating today, possibly make it a recurrent monthly donation, please?
I hope you will consider making-a-donation today to support our ongoing efforts.
THANK YOU!
