Fun time at Flamingo Land

A wonderful time was had by all at our recent weekend away at Flamingo Land dsc02208flamingo-land-sign

31 families met together to rekindle old friendships and to make new ones.

We found out who likes the adrenaline rides,dsc02166fl-rides

and who preferred to watch the animal shows.

We learned who makes the best BBQ food.

But most of all we learned that heart families know how to have the best fun ever – and yes we did ignore the signs on every single ride that said you couldn’t ride on this if you had a heart condition.

We figured out that our cardiac teams’ permission was better than a theme park insurance company’s disclaimer!

We went on a hunt for fossil evidence, we checked out how fast dinosaurs were running, we photographed magical, musical, and mysterious items on a treasure huntDSC01942

DSC01937We designed our own T shirts and screen printed them

 

There was a midnight screening of  “Night at the Museum 2” of course

DSC01928And in the morning we met a Royal Python, a Madagascan Chameleon and two Costa Rican leaf frogs.DSC01947DSC01952

Well Done Helaina

IMG_20151115_001733 A big thank you to Helaina for raising £176 for CHA at our Ball of Hearts.

She has spent a year making bracelets to sell.  They were beautifully colourful.

CHA charity fundraising

Charity fundraising has been in the news recently. We would like to reassure you that we have never sold your information to anyone.  Our membership list is only used to send out information to you about our trips and events.

CHA are in the wonderful position that we don’t need to send letters asking for financial support.  All our team are unpaid volunteers, and only rent a small storage unit to supply our occasional charity shop so our running expenses are low.

Let us share some news about our fabulous supporters who have raised money for CHA this summer. Liam ran Tough Mudder, Derek and Jodie both skydived for us, and others have had tea parties, been gardening for their neighbours, cycled Chester to Liverpool, run Manchester 10K and lots of other great fun things both big and small.  We are very grateful to everyone who chooses to raise funds for us, and their friends and families for sponsoring them.

Info day thanks

_MG_5628_MG_5838A huge thank you to everyone who worked together to help create our information day on Saturday 19th.

Thanks to our wonderful speakers, or those who led workshops; Dr Andreas Hoschtitzky, Claire Stableford, Dr Caroline Jones, Linda Griffiths, Clair Noctor, Kim Laurie, Hand on Heart, Parent Voices Count, and the rest of the cardiac teams who led our sessions for teenagers and the adults with CHD who attended. And not forgetting our CHA team who helped to pull off this organisational feat!
