- My youngest son was born with a severe CHD and upon diagnosis it rocked our family. I was immediately in search of a community to help guide and support us. CHAoC is that community and I am honored to be part of an organization that helps children, adults, and families impacted by CHDs feel supported, loved and hopeful!
Stephanie Nightingale
- My daughter was born with a critical CHD in 2017, a life altering diagnosis which brought us into the Heart Community. CHAoC is a phenomenal platform to spread awareness and advocate for research to overcome congenital heart defects as well as offer community support to all of those impacted by CHD.
Ali Barnes
- As an employee of the Heart Institute at CCHMC, I work closely with CHAoC and have witnessed their exceptional dedication, firsthand. The positive impact that CHAoC funding & programming has on patients with CHD is remarkable. I am proud of CHAoC for supporting innovative cardiovascular research and improving the lives of those impacted by CHD.
Joshua Rand
- Our youngest son, Elijah, was diagnosed with LQTS over the summer of 2018. His diagnosis ultimately saved his life and other family members’. Through the genetic testing process, it was determined that my oldest son and I also carry the gene defect. My desire is to create awareness, support families, and eradicate undiagnosed LQTS in children athletes.
Heather Bucher
- I want to give my time to a group that has provided me and my family with much support and assistance over the past several years. My youngest daughter has some special needs and as such we see many specialists at CCHMC and attend the Perlman Center. This is a way for me to give back to an organization that has given so much to us.
Megan Horsley
- My interest in the CHAoC started when I began meeting committee members at NPC-QIC and hearing all of the amazing things they are doing in the community. As an cardiac dietitian, an advocate for heart patients, and a heart mom myself, I had to be a part of something greater, that will continue to touch lives all around for years to come.
