Featured Fundraiser - The Miracle Miley Research Fund
Miley Kathryn Byrd was born at Duke University Hospital in July of 2022. A heart warrior, Miley was diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, and underwent multiple operations and long hospital stays. In February of 2024, Miley began experiencing distressing symptoms and was admitted to the PCICU with heart failure. She was listed for a heart transplant, received excellent care from the PCICU staff and fought as hard as she possibly could. On May 5, 2024 Miley passed.
Miley's family and friends have started a research fund in memory of Miley and her courageous spirit. It is their hope to raise significant funds for single ventricle research at Duke University, in the hopes of helping researchers and providers find solutions to many of the issues single ventricle heart patients face.
Starting May 5, 2025, all gifts to the Miracle Miley Research Fund, up to a maximum of $25,000, will be DOUBLED thanks to a big-hearted matching contributor. That means twice the opportunity to see advancements in life support that are safer for single ventricle kids, as well as surgical improvements.
