Heart and stroke survivors of all ages to come to August 12th event; prior registration required by August 5th
Nashville, TN – When you are a child with a congenital heart defect, sometimes all you want to do is forget all the extra doctor visits and just be a kid. When you’re a parent of a CHD child, sometimes you need to talk with others who “get it.”
The American Heart Association’s Faces of Heart Fest gives both of them that chance.
In just a couple of years, the Fest has grown into a major happening, especially for families of children with congenital heart defects in the Middle Tennessee area. Parents of CHD kids relish the chance to get together and share stories with others traveling the same road.
Many of the families already know each other, from time spent together in hospitals while their children were having checkups or procedures, and from informal support gatherings and online groups.
There are always new families to meet, to greet, and to welcome into the special, supportive network of CHD families.
For adult heart and stroke survivors, it’s a time to relax and enjoy, and understand the bond that holds all survivors together.
And the kids – well, they love the chance to just be kids, and play with new friends and old.
