I do not have a single Cause Warrior for September, instead I have more than 400 of them. These people represented CHD in Colorado, they showed up, all 400 + of them at General’s Park on August 25th, oh so early in the morning. Some of them were on the planning committee, some of them […]

I don’t know April’s cause warrior as well as previous warriors, but she’s in my Get Born club and that gets her in many doors in my heart. Allison is a cause warrior for autism, and as April is Autism Awareness Month, and as Allison was doing a big event at the beginning of April […]
I first met Ryan in high school. He was younger than me, and not in any of my classes, but he was one of “those” people with a sparkling personality that you can’t help but notice. I met Ryan again when he was a student at the University of Northern Colorado, the fall after I […]
Today is not only Valentine’s Day, but it is also Congenital Heart Defect Day. In honor of CHD and Heart Warriors everywhere, this month’s cause warrior HAD to be a Heart Warrior too. I first “met” Kristine online when I sought information about pulse ox screening actions and she was very helpful. This is because […]
