 to read our Quick Quote from January, when Bennett Sr. received the genetically modified pig heart transplant

"We pray that those looking for hope will continue to fight for the future, fight for new ideas, fight for answers, fight for life."

David Bennett Jr. is the son of David Bennett Sr., who made history as the first person to receive a genetically modified pig heart transplant. Bennett Sr. passed away on March 8, two months after the surgery. Bennett Jr. says he hopes his father's effort will contribute toward growing research in order to help others. More than 106,000 Americans are on the national transplant waiting list - and 17 die each day awaiting transplant. "

We are grateful for every innovative moment, every crazy dream, every sleepless night that went into this historic effort."
