Michael Henter Foundation
Legendary Guy. Legendary Dream. Saving Lives.

Our Mission
The Michael Henter Foundation is committed to raising awareness, advancing education, and driving research for Marfan syndrome and aortic disease.
Founded in 2023 in memory of Michael Henter, our mission is to empower and support individuals and families affected by these life-threatening connective tissue disorders. Guided by the values of compassion, advocacy, education, and progress, we strive to be a force for change, working to improve early diagnosis, expand access to care, and ultimately save lives.
Whether through community events, educational outreach, or fundraising efforts across Iowa and beyond, the Michael Henter Foundation is here to create a lasting impact and build a stronger future for those living with Marfan syndrome and related aortic conditions.
