00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.800
The idea of funding research can sound abstract
until you see what it means for a child and family.

00:00:06.260 --> 00:00:10.460
Survival, safer care, better treatments,
and more hope for the future.

00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:16.480
This year, The Children’s Heart Foundation received
155 initial research proposals,

00:00:16.880 --> 00:00:22.000
a 91 percent increase from 2024,
and the largest response in our history.

00:00:22.580 --> 00:00:27.160
November 4th, experts in the field will help us determine
which of those projects

00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:31.520
show the greatest potential to save, improve,
and extend lives.

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:35.400
The momentum in this field provides us
with tremendous hope,

00:00:35.700 --> 00:00:38.940
but every year, worthy research goes unfunded.

00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:43.520
Not because the science is lacking,
but because the financial resources are.

00:00:43.940 --> 00:00:49.300
For 30 years, The Children’s Heart Foundation
has helped promising ideas move forward.

00:00:49.720 --> 00:00:54.560
Your gift by September 30th can help put one more
promising project on the path to funding

00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:58.180
and bring the next breakthrough closer
to the children who need it.

00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:02.140
Thank you for believing in what research makes possible.
