Every Father’s Day is a gift for the Kerr family.
Dad Ken has homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia or HoFH – the rare form of FH. He had already had life-saving, open-heart surgery when he was only 27, and like many others it took one more decade to receive his first diagnosis of FH. What’s more, he recently learned that all four of his kids have FH.
Your support
can help families like the Kerrs have the healthiest future possible.
Only 1 in 10 people with FH in the U.S. know they have it. And most are diagnosed when they are in their 40s or later – decades after dangerous cholesterol has been building up in their arteries. For some, it is simply too late.
That is why FH Can’t Wait.
When you donate to the FH Foundation, you will help find and reach out to people with FH.
Will you please give now?
You will help raise widespread awareness of FH so that more people, including fathers like Ken, receive life-saving diagnosis and treatment. And you will help fund our research that is leading to better understanding, better treatment, and healthier lives.
“I’m inspired by the FH treatments available now as well as new ones just around the corner,” Ken says. “My kids won’t have to go through what I have had to go through. I’m so grateful for all the FH Foundation is doing to change the future for people with FH.”
Ken's kids are now among the lucky ones. They will be monitored their whole lives and treated to prevent early heart disease. That early treatment can add years – even decades – to their lives. And
your gift
to the FH Foundation will mean that even more kids will be diagnosed and treated while there is still time to prevent heart disease.
Thank you so much for
your gift
and for standing up for the millions of families with FH this Father's Day.
