July's Meeting

Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, July 29th from 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. in the Windsor House at the Ronald McDonald House on Roanoke.

We will have 3 very special guests who will be speaking. Each of them was born with a congenital heart defect and has survived their own surgeries, procedures, and struggles. They will be sharing their stories and the things that their families did to help them.

Our speakers are:

Becca Atherton
Becca was diagnosed with TOF, PA, pulmonary hypertension & asthma. She is currently a high school student living in Phoenix.

Lainika Johnson-Colbert
Lainika was diagnosed with a VSD. Previously she did a reoccuring Friday segment on Arizona Sonora. Now she is hosting a radio program, "Women in the News" on KPHX 1480 that airs on Sunday nights from 10-11:00.

Patricia Milazzo
Patricia was diagnosed with a partially closed aortic valve. Patricia will be able to talk to us about surgery both as a child and as an adult.

We hope you will be able to join us!
