Helmerich
Parker was a newborn with congenital heart defects. He survived his first 300 days in the hospital waiting for a new heart, and today he is thriving because lifesaving research and innovations made his transplant possible.
Every gift is a spark, one that can ignite meaningful change in the American Heart Association’s mission to fund research, expand education, and open doors to better heart health for all.
