Conference Time!

So I finally got the very exciting registration form for: The 4th Annual Toronto Congenital Cardiac Patient Conference. Needless to say I am excited.

Okay, sure, last year when I went it raised some really tough questions for myself, but in asking and thinking about these questions I have grown to be a better and stronger person. So though it's tough I think it's good. Last year I went alone, as usual but this year I am wondering if I would like someone to come with me. A friend or something maybe, a little additional support and also a chance to hang out and have in Toronto, because Toronto is really pretty fun, especially with friends.

So the conference is on May 9th 2009 in Toronto and some of things I am really looking forward to are:

My Lifetime of Memories and Lessons - John MacEachern (director of the CCHA)

What's in it for us: How research Helps Congenital Heart Care -Candice Silversides

Going to Parliament for CHD - CCHA

Sex, Drugs & Rock 'n' Roll...and You! (break out session)
Congenital Patient Group: How Do We Increase Awareness (breakout session)
Sports & Exercise in Congenital Patients (breakout session)

If people are interested in getting more information about this conference let me know and I can get it. It costs 40$ Cdn. and of course you have to provide your own accommodations but there are rooms available at a discounted price but they need to be booked by April 9th.

I will be taking notes and blogging in detail about the Conference in the days following it.
