Sadie Brett may have only lived for 7\nmonths, but her impact has reached countless children and families, ultimately\nchanging the medical industry by providing kids an edge and fighting chance\nagainst CHD. Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common\nconditions affecting infants and one that remains severely underfunded\ncompared to other childhood illnesses. The Brett Boyer Foundation is dedicated\nto raising awareness and funding research aimed at advancing treatment options\nwhile providing support to families and providers navigating a CHD diagnosis.\nAnother mission of The Brett Boyer Foundation is to celebrate the love,\ncapability, and dignity of the Down syndrome community. 50% of babies born\nwith Down syndrome fight CHD. Through fundraising efforts and partnerships\nwith like-minded organizations both in the Nashville area and across the\nUnited States, the Foundation works to improve outcomes for children living\nwith heart disease so that fewer families endure the loss the Boyers\nexperienced.\n\nThe Brett Boyer Foundation: https://www.thebrettboyerfoundation.org/\n\nAbout Meyer Distributing\n\nMeyer Distributing is a leader in specialty products marketing and\ndistribution for the automotive aftermarket.
