MEET BENNETT
When Bennett was just 10, her dream was to make the school cheer squad. But a routine physical changed everything. After discovering a heart murmur, doctors diagnosed her with dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a serious heart condition. The months that followed were filled with fear, medical tests, and anxiety as Bennett adjusted to life with a defibrillator vest and later an implanted device. The alarms, hospital visits, and isolation from friends took a toll until her family found the Children’s Cardiomyopathy Foundation (CCF). Through CCF, they found guidance, community, and hope.
Today, Bennett is dancing again, and her mom, Cara, is giving back as a parent ambassador and advisory board member for CCF’s patient registry.
With your support, more families like Bennett’s can find the strength, resources, and hope they need. Hope begins with you.

Creating a future of hope for children with cardiomyopathy
The Children's Cardiomyopathy Foundation was founded in 2002 by Lisa Yue and Eddie Yu in memory of their sons, Bryan and Kevin, who tragically died of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. They transformed their pain into passion to help other parents and children with this rare and often progressive heart disease. Twenty two years later, CCF has grown into an international community of families and physicians, committed to advancing treatments, outcomes, and the quality of life for children with cardiomyopathy.
