We are passionately raising funds to support cutting-edge research initiatives dedicated to uncovering better treatments and ultimately a cure for Long QT Syndrome.
Hearts in Harmony Foundation was born from a family's personal journey with Long QT Syndrome (LQTS), a condition that changed their world forever. Founded by Kira and Mark Greenfield after their daughter Shea's diagnosis, the foundation is passionately dedicated to finding better treatments and ultimately a cure for this life-threatening condition.
Shea's current life is a daily battle. The medications available today, while necessary, cause severe side effects—like frequent vomiting, seizures, and relentless fatigue—that rob Shea of the ability to enjoy the activities most children her age take for granted. These side effects, combined with the fact that the current treatments do not fully protect against the risk of sudden death from LQTS, highlight the urgent need for better, safer therapies.
Through Project Shea, Hearts in Harmony has partnered with Dr. Michael Ackerman at the Mayo Clinic to drive groundbreaking research that could lead to the first-ever FDA-approved treatment for LQTS. Thanks to the foundation's support, Dr. Ackerman has assembled a team of top scientists who are on a mission to develop new drug therapies within the next 12-24 months. Their goal is to discover at least five promising drug candidates and begin human trials within five years, providing hope and a lifeline for families like the Greenfields, who live every day with the fear that their loved ones could be taken too soon by this silent condition.
By supporting Project Shea, you’re not just funding research—you’re giving families hope for treatments that are not only effective but also allow children like Shea to live fuller, more joyful lives. Your donation helps accelerate the discovery of safer, more effective treatments that could change the lives of countless individuals living with LQTS. Together, with your support, we can bring this vital research to life and create a future where hearts beat in harmony, free from the threat of Long QT Syndrome. Join us in this mission and help us turn hope into reality for families everywhere.
Hearts in Harmony was born out of a deeply personal journey. When our daughter Shea was diagnosed with Long QT Syndrome, our world changed forever. Long QT is a heart rhythm condition that can lead to sudden, life-threatening arrhythmias. For us, this diagnosis meant confronting the unknown and navigating a complex medical landscape. But it also ignited a passion within us to make a difference—for Shea and for all those affected by this condition.
We are dedicated to supporting groundbreaking research aimed at finding a cure for Long QT Syndrome. By partnering with leading medical institutions and researchers, we hope to drive innovation and bring hope to those living with this condition.
Through our work, we aim to make a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by this condition. Our fundraising events, like our Annual Shake It For Shea Fundraiser, and generous donations have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to put towards improving the lives of those living with Long QT. Every dollar raised, every conversation started, and every piece of research funded brings us one step closer to a world where Long QT is no longer a threat.
Whether you are here to learn more, get involved, or find support, we welcome you to Hearts in Harmony. Together, we can work towards creating a future where hearts beat in harmony, free from the fear of Long QT Syndrome.
Thank you for being a part of our journey.
