RAISE awareness, INSPIRE others

The Ironheart Foundation supports cardiac patients and families worldwide by raising awareness through our active lifestyles. In doing so, we strive to promote healthy heart living, provide resources, referrals and support to patients, communities and organizations. Along the way, we bring attention to the most common birth defect, Congenital Heart Defects, and the number one cause of death, Heart Disease. We don't want to be #1!

The secret is out... 1 in 3 have heart disease. It's the #1 killer in men and women, claiming more lives than cancer, respiratory disease, diabetes and accidents combined. The #1 birth defect in the world is defects of the heart. It's an epidemic sweeping the globe, and Ironheart was established to do something about it. With your help, we don't have to be #1 any longer! Ironheart gives back in 3 ways.

INSPIRING others...one BEAT at a time

Our mission is simple. We lead the way in promoting healthy heart living and inspire others along the way!

Athletic Inspiration

At the core of Ironheart is a mission to inspire others through sport. Life does not stop after surgery. For many, it's just the beginning. We are out to prove that strength is not how far one can go before they break... it's how far one can take themselves after they've already been broken. Ironheart provides athletic scholarship for those wishing to promote healthy heart living and inspire others through endurance competition.

Do you want to inspire others? Have a story to tell? Do you have what it takes to make it to the starting line? Get an Ironheart athletic scholarship application here.
