Today is Giving Tuesday and Texans for Cures is asking for donations for Dr. Doris Taylor, a member of our Medical Advisory Committee. As Director of Regeberative Medicine at the Texas Heart Institute, she is very close to building a pediatric size functioning human heart. Our goal is to raise $15,000 in December. Every donation helps, small or large. To learn her powerful and moving story on why she chose medical science to help others, please go to the link below.

Thank you in advance!

I wanted to take a minute and introduce something truly fantastic! It's a story of one day being able to knock out heart disease in our lifetime.

It's a story that if you didn't know any better, you'd guess it came straight from a science fiction novel. But it didn't.

As Peter Diamandis, the author of Abundance: The Future Is Better Than You Think, said “The day before something is truly a breakthrough, it’s a crazy idea.” Your generosity towards this groundbreaking advancement will ultimately change the way heart disease is treated forever.

Please consider donating. Our goal is to raise $50,000. It's only through these types of efforts do remarkable things happen. You can hit the DONATE button in the blog post below. Any amount is appreciated.

WE ARE CREATING THE FUTURE OF MEDICINE TODAY!

These ideas became recommendations we presented at our Texas Regenerative Medicine Summit at the State Capitol on September 13, 2018.
