To be deprived of the opportunity to run and jump, or splash and laugh is downright un-kid-like. Still, for children bornen-USCommunityServer 2.0 (Build: 60608.1)http://dailynightly.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/07/17/2000293.aspx#2000376Fri, 17 Jul 2009 23:08:37 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:2000376Jess H, Framingham, MAThank you for this report.  I wish a camp had existed like that 30 years ago when I was one of those "zipper kids" who never spent a night away from home and always felt different.  At 37 I'm a healthy, independent woman who no longer identifies myself based upon my scar or the medical challenges I had/have. It's nice to know that the generation of children presently growing up with heart defects (many more challenging then what I had because medical technology has advanced so much for more children to survive) have an opportunity to feel normal by going to this camp and enjoying their summers.http://dailynightly.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/07/17/2000293.aspx#2000434Sat, 18 Jul 2009 02:41:47 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:2000434Donna StarkeyMy Granddaughter who is 5 years old and has had 3 open heart surgeries attended Camp Rhythm and loved it, and being just a regular kid. Thanks to all the volunteers who donated their time,these Children had an experience they would otherwise be denied.http://dailynightly.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/07/17/2000293.aspx#2001853Mon, 20 Jul 2009 16:16:40 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:2001853Catherine Nash, Bowling Green, KYAs the mom of an adorable daughter born with heart defects, I am so excited to see you recognizing facilities like Camp Rhythm. My daughter has attended The Center for Courageous Kids in Scottsville, KY and it has changed her life. She has met children from across the country and they spend a week together in tiny Scottsville horseback riding, creating arts and crafts, swimming, boating, and fishing. And just as important- Courageous Kids has Family Weekends during the school year when we camp as a whole family and I have been able to meet dozens of other parents going through exactly what I am experiencing. Thanks again!!http://dailynightly.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/07/17/2000293.aspx#2002698Tue, 21 Jul 2009 03:00:20 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:2002698Sue Lauber-FlemingThank you Kevin for spotlighting Camp Rhythm.  I have a special place in my heart for Camp Rhythm.  Forty five years ago my nephew died of an inoperable congenital heart defect that today would be almost "minor surgery".  When my daughter n law Dr. Angela Sharkey, MD asked me to volunteer at Camp Rhythm I was so pleased and delighted to be of service to assist in making the week of Camp as wonderful as possible for these great KIDS!  Angela's husband, Gerry, and their children, Chris, 17, John 16 and Sammi 14 also volunteer at Camp and bring lots of joy and laughter as well as support to the KIDS.  With deep appreciation.  "Granny Sue"http://dailynightly.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/07/17/2000293.aspx#2113922Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:49:48 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:2113922adeniyi sola, Lagos, NigeriaI wish my daughter who is 2years old living who has inoperable hole in the heart will one day have this opportunity. well done.
