Twenty years of honoring John’s legacy with genetic research, widespread education, and radical advocacy.
Supporters gathered in LA earlier this month for An Evening From the Heart and raised over $400,000 for the mission of the John Ritter Foundation for Aortic Health. These donations will continue to fund cutting-edge research and programs that will educate and support those in the aortic health community. Thank you "From The Top Of Our Heart" to everyone who attended, donated, and gave your time to making this event such a great success!
We exist to spread awareness of aortic health and prevent unnecessary suffering through genetic research, widespread education, and radical advocacy. Every year, undiagnosed and misdiagnosed aortic dissections are responsible for a staggering number of tragically avoidable deaths. Since losing John, I've devoted myself to shining a much-needed light on thoracic aortic disease. The John Ritter Foundation and I are committed to alleviating this unnecessary suffering caused by the devastating lack of aortic awareness.

Ritter Rules
The Ritter Rules were created to educate how to recognize, treat and prevent thoracic aortic dissection. Read the rules. Save a life.Become an #AortaSupporta
With your support, we’re able to bring awareness and fund the essential research needed to learn the causes of thoracic aortic disease so that we can prevent unnecessary loss.
I want to be remembered as just a guy who was interested in the golden thread of humanity that intertwines us all together.
