The Justin J. Davis Heart Foundation's mission is to educate and raise awareness about Congenital Heart Defects, Heart Failure and Sudden Cardiac Arrest and to inspire and support persons affected by it.
The vision of the Justin J. Davis Heart Foundation is to increase awareness about CHD, HF and SCA with the goal of saving lives through education, the facilitation and promotion of heart screenings, CPR/AED training. We also plan to donate/provide AED’s to community recreational groups to increase the chance of survival for those persons who may have an cardiac event such as SCA.
"You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives."
Genesis 50:20The Justin J. Davis (Just-In-Time) Heart Foundation 501 (3)(c) was founded after he was diagnosed with Left Ventricle Non-Compaction Cardiomyopathy (LVNC), a rare congenital heart defect (CHD). I have been an athlete all my life, playing both football and basketball. My body had been compensating for my CHD and I never been sick until I suddenly began to experience nausea and shortness of breathe after being exposed to the flu virus.
