Who is AHC?
Join us by reviewing specific stories of our children and their families in their Honorarium pages. Stories typically chronicle the arduous journey from strange symptoms through the relief and pain of diagnosis, as well as the adaptation of families to a life with AHC. In addition to the fellowship created through sharing, the families put a personal touch to their fund raising efforts through these Honorariums.
Donate in honor of a specific child through their respective pages linked below.
In Memorial:
The Foundation encourages all families to create an Honorarium to add to the expanding picture of the AHC experience. Put a face on the condition by sending us your story in a text document with images in separate files. We will format the text and images into an Honorarium similar to these.
