Who Are We?
ABOUT US
Since 2011
According to 2014 donor statistics (organdonor.org), 79 people receive organ transplants a day. However, sadly an average of 22 people die each day waiting for transplants that cannot take place because of the shortage of donated organs. It was with this is mind that Spreadlife Hearts N Hand was founded in 2011.
In addition to donor advocacy, SpreadlifeHnH provides educational services and information thoughtout the community. These services encourage healthy medical, dietary, physical and emotional lifestyle choices for pre-transplant candidates, recipients, donor and the community at large.
Meet The Team
Muran Veniszee was diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot (a congenital heart defect) at birth and underwent two open heart surgeries by the age of 6. In 2009 Muran went through a life changing event when he was found collapsed in his college dorm. Only 3% of his heart was working and he had to receive a heart transplant. At the age of 28 Muran received a new heart and liver. After the transplants were complete and Muran was discharged, he began his dream of starting a non-profit organization to provide people with the support, education, and knowledge that he had been yearning for throughout his experience. Hearts N Hand was founded to be the inspiration, hope, and dedication that everyone is entitled to.
