Meredith Wilharber knows all too well about Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.

It took her mother’s life when she was 12 and reappeared in her own life when she was diagnosed at 34.  She is a stay-at-home mom to two boys – ages three and one.  Being told she had a disease known as the “silent killer” put the (ph)ight in her to do everything in her power to help others that are currently or will be in her shoes one day.

Meredith and her husband Randy founded Blue Lips with the vision of advancing research and funding for early detection, new screening methods and early onset treatment.  The long-term outlook for those suffering from the disease is greatly improved when treatment begins in the early stages.  There is currently a great void in this area of the fight against Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.  Early screening and detection is desperately needed to save the lives and improve the quality of life of those who harbor this terrible condition.  They decided it was their time to make a difference in the (ph)ight against Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.
