Helping protect young hearts through access, awareness, and action.

We help fund and expand access to life-saving youth heart screenings, so more children, teens, and families have the chance to catch hidden heart conditions before they become devastating.

Why We Exist

Because too many families never know there is a problem until it is too late.

Strive for Life Foundation was built around a simple but urgent belief: more children should have access to the kind of heart screening that can uncover hidden conditions and change outcomes.

We focus on awareness, charitable support, and community partnerships that help bring these opportunities to more families and more communities.

How Strive Helps

Turning donor support into real access.

We raise funds and direct charitable support where it can do the most good: helping families, schools, and communities gain access to youth heart screenings.

Support families

We help reduce financial barriers through funding assistance for qualifying children and families.

Fund community access

We help support fully funded or partner-supported screening opportunities in communities with need.

Build awareness

We work to educate parents, schools, and supporters about hidden heart conditions and the importance of early detection.

Heart of the Mission

Every child helped, every family supported, and every community reached is part of a bigger story.

Strive for Life exists to create access, ease financial barriers, and help more families find answers through life-saving youth heart screenings.

Family-centered mission story

For Families

Some families pursue screening for reassurance. Others are searching for answers. Strive helps make that opportunity more accessible when cost might otherwise stand in the way.

Community partnership story

For Communities

Through partnerships, outreach, and charitable support, Strive helps bring screening opportunities to schools, organizations, and communities that want to protect more kids.

Impact and awareness story

For the Future

Every event, donor, sponsor, and supporter helps expand awareness and access so more young hearts have the chance to be checked before a hidden condition becomes a tragedy.

Our Relationship with My HeartCheck

Separate roles. Shared purpose.

Strive for Life Foundation helps expand access to youth heart screenings through charitable funding and outreach, while My HeartCheck provides the clinical screening services.

My HeartCheck

  • Provides the clinically based youth heart screening services
  • Includes EKGs and echocardiograms with medical review by pediatric cardiologists
  • Operates as the medical services provider

Strive for Life Foundation

  • Raises charitable funds to help expand access
  • Helps support families and communities with need
  • Determines how charitable dollars are used

When Strive supports screenings, it does so under a written service agreement at fair market value to ensure transparency, accountability, and responsible stewardship.

Take Action

Help more children get access to life-saving screening.

Your support helps create awareness, remove barriers, and bring real screening opportunities to more families and communities.

Our Relationship with My HeartCheck

The Strive for Life Foundation exists to help protect children from undiagnosed heart conditions by expanding access to professional heart screenings, especially in high-need  communities.

  • My HeartCheck provides the clinically based heart screening services for youth, including EKGs and echocardiograms with medical review by pediatric cardiologists.

  • Strive for Life Foundation raises charitable funds to help ensure that cost is not a barrier for families or communities in need.

The two organizations are separate and independently governed, with distinct roles:

  • My HeartCheck operates as a medical services provider.

  • Strive for Life Foundation determines how and where charitable funds are used to support screenings.

Charitable contributions to Strive for Life Foundation may be used to:

  • Provide financial assistance to qualifying families through an application-based aid program

  • Support fully funded heart screening events in high-need communities.

When Strive for Life Foundation supports screenings, it does so under a written service agreement at fair market value, just as it would with any qualified provider. This structure ensures transparency, accountability, and responsible stewardship of donor funds.

This approach allows us to:

  • Deliver high-quality medical screenings efficiently

  • Target charitable dollars to families and communities with the greatest need

  • Maintain clear accountability and separation between charitable fundraising and medical service delivery

Our focus is simple: helping more children receive life-saving heart screenings.
