Friends, family and our amazing community showed up in such a beautiful way for our Wings of Noah "Scoopie Night" Pediatric Cardiac Fundraiser @ Culver's Monday, November 3rd 2025.

Your presence — your meals purchased — your donations — your hugs — your love…
all of it matters.
all of it fuels this mission.

Wings of Noah is rooted in the life and legacy of Noah Michael Marzelli.

A simple cold settled in Noah’s heart, causing severe inflammation (myocarditis).
This led to a 38-day battle with heart failure, ECMO, and 7 surgeries — 5 of them open-heart.

The damage from the virus was too much to overcome.
A heart transplant was needed — but his beautifully broken body never made it there.

Noah now watches from above — spreading love, courage, and hope for other Heart Warriors, their families, and the care teams walking beside them.

His story continues to change lives — and YOU were a part of that last night.

Thank you for showing up — for giving — for caring — for honoring Noah’s heartbeat and continuing his legacy.

Thank you, Dr. Bartlett. ECMO gave us 37 bonus days with Noah this side of Heaven.

◾️In Memoriam of Robert Hawes Bartlett, MD 1939 - 2025 ◾️
Without Dr. Bartlett, there is no ECMO: Dr. Bartlett saved more than 100,000 patient lives globally through his life’s work on ECMO. He changed the world.
Known globally as the Father of ECMO, Robert H. Bartlett spent his life not only caring for the critically ill, but pioneering, establishing and teaching others new ways to provide life-saving support to these patients. ECMO, perhaps his most prestigious achievement, is today a standard of care for lung and/or cardiac support for premature infants to the elderly.
Dr. Bartlett was recruited to the University of Michigan in 1980. Bringing along his ECMO team, he established the ECLS laboratory, which is still active today, supports up to 100 students, residents, and investigators annually. In the early days at the University of Michigan, he created the ECMO program, which was largely focused on neonatal patients, but he advocated for an ECMO program that would address the needs of all patients.
With the success of ECMO, in 1989 he founded the ELSO - Extracorporeal Life Support Organization a global organization to inspire camaraderie while advancing technology, knowledge, and access. His charter message was that ELSO will be the “motor for research, the forum for discussion, the internal conscience, and the external voice of extracorporeal life support. Membership is exclusively limited to individuals with experience in extracorporeal life support and commitment to improving the state-of-the-art and science, but expansively inclusive to everyone with those characteristics.
He will forever be the Father of ECMO. He changed the landscape of surgery and critical care; he had friends all over the world and lived life fully. His work will continue to save lives. He will be missed by many and remembered by us all as an inspiration, a compassionate clinician, and a great intellect.

Vale, Dr Robert H Bartlett.
