"Runs in the family"
is not a diagnosis

Season of Hearts. Season of Giving.
Help protect the hearts of the people we love—this season and for generations to come.

This holiday season, as you look at your family and marvel at the traits you share, remember that when it comes to high cholesterol and heart disease, “runs in the family” is not a diagnosis. There may be something more—hidden genetic cholesterol disorders that are common yet rarely identified.

Knowing is everything.

That’s where we come in. The
Family Heart Foundation works to save generations of families from heart disease through timely identification and improved care. Through research, advocacy, and education, we empower families to understand their risk and take action.

But we need your help.

Your support—
especially your monthly gift—fuels awareness, diagnosis, and life-saving programs for those living with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and high lipoprotein(a), also called Lp(a). Make a gift today and send a holiday e-card to someone you love.

Help us keep making a difference—one family, one heart at a time. 💗
