One Minute, One Family
It takes just 1 minute to share vital information that might save a family from early CVD.
“I first found out I had high cholesterol when I was in high school. Without having a name for it, I knew that it was something that I had inherited from my father’s side of the family. I have now accepted the fact that diet and exercise are not enough for what we have. Aggressive medical treatment is necessary.” — Catherine Davis Ahmed, FH Advocate, Director of Outreach, FH Foundation
“It wasn’t until I saw a lipid specialist about my kids that I actually learned about the disease I have. Now that I know what I am fighting against, I am learning everything I can about FH in order to guide my kids through this disease with early detection and appropriate treatment. My wish for them is a future without the intense surgeries that I have had, in order to save my life.”-Scott Radabaugh, Patient Advocate
