What is the Generation Hope blog?

A blog can be many things … a diary, a rant, a means of promotion. It can be the voice that lets you know you are not alone. It can provide a chronicle of experiences that mirror your own. It can inspire...

The Generation Hope blog seeks to bring a voice to young adults facing Pulmonary Hypertension. It addresses those issues most applicable to people in their twenties, thirties and forties such as college, work, children and dating; all accompanied by a chronic illness.

Our blog is written by patients who are going through these experiences or who have gone through them in the past. They come from across the country and around the world! Each offers positive viewpoints on the realities of life with PH.

A blog should also be a conversation between its bloggers and readers and we want to open up a dialogue with the community. Check out some of our past posts:

Finding Your Voice

We Are Hope

Who would I be without illness?

As we prepare for the coming year, we would like to invite you to join our blogging team. Why not write one post (or more) in the coming year! If writing isn’t your thing, is there anything you would like to see addressed on the blog? Any issues or problems that you feel could be tackled? If so, we want to hear from you. Simply email: ChandaC@phassociation.org

As new posts arrive why not share your own experiences on what you’ve read? Doing so will ensure that other patients who read it will gain a well-rounded view on the topic. Use the comment box below to share your thoughts.

With regular new material and an engaged and active readership we can continue to inspire each other to live our lives with enthusiasm and optimism … and that’s what Generation Hope is all about.
