As a member of the adult congenital heart association (ACHA), I have been invited to Washington DC on February 10, 2009 to participate in the National Congenital Heart Lobby Day.I will attend meetings with my Senator and House of Representative's office to raise awareness of congenital heart disease (CHD) and ask for their support of a national CHD registry and CHD research and education.
I've calculated the anticipated expenses.
Airfare: $350
Hotel: $400
Meals: $100
Subway/Cab Fare: $100
Miscellaneous: $50
TOTAL: $1000
So my financial goal is $1000
To date 52% of the expenses have been pledged.

We are unable to financially help but we live in the DC area. If you need a place to stay your welcome to stay here. ALso the local support group that does a lot of lobbying and is a huge support of Adult Congenital Heart Patients and one of the ONLY Hospitals in the Country that is working toward having Adult CHD doctors is Children's National Medical Center. you may want to contact them as well to see if they could help you. Also the local support group is called Custom Hearts and they have many families that live in and around the DC area. My email is tgrabb@cox.net.
You go girl. Thank you for sending the link.
