About Us
The Walter T. Bradley II Fund was started in memory of Walter Thomas Bradley II, who passed away August 31, 2010 from heat disease. The fund will benefit research and education at The Ohio State University Heart and Vascular Center and Ohio State's Comprehensive Stroke Center.
Events: The Walter T. Bradley II Golf Classic was started to raise funds and awareness for the WTB2 Fund. Walter loved playing the game of golf with his family and friends. No matter how he was playing he always kept a smile on his face making sure all those around him were having a great time. Walter had such strong passions for the game because it allowed him to spend even more time with the ones he loved. Walter also had a passion for The Ohio State University. His grandmother-in-law was a housemother at numerous fraternities for 35 years, his father-in-law graduated from The OSU Moritz College of Law, his mother-in-law and two of his three children graduated from OSU, where one of his sons was a member of the 2002 National Championship Football Team. |
Research & Discovery

The Walter T. Bradley II Heart Fund is the ONLY Research and Education fund benefiting research and education at The Ohio State University Heart and Vascular Center and Ohio State's Comprehensive Stroke Center through the Wexner Medical Center.
We work directly with Dr. Peter J Mohler, Ph.D, Director, Dorthy M. Davis Heart and Lung Research Institute, Associate Dean for Basic Research. OSU College of Medicine, American Heart Association Established Investigator, Pew Scholar of Pew Charitable Trust, Kavli Fellow of the United States National Academy of Sciences, Arrived at Ohio State in 2011 following training and positions at Duke, Vanderbilt and University of Iowa.
Funds raised and donated to The Walter T. Bradley II Heart Fund have helped fund the research that lead to the discovery of a new mechanism to repair broken cells following injury. This is a sub component of a field called regenerative medicine, in this case more specifically, membrane repair. The science is focused on generating new molecules or compounds that can "patch" a hole in a cell when it is injured. Our scientist have data that application of this compound to heart myocytes or brain neurons can help heal these cells and prevent further damage.
We have now received funding from both the NFL and National Institutes of Health to purse this technology further. Our researchers have started a company to have the ability to move these compounds to the clinic.
Due to your support of The Walter T. Bradley II Research and Education Fund and the Walter T. Bradley II Golf Classic, the research and science is studied and discovered locally at The Ohio State University!
