Among the focuses John wants to bring to Families for HoPE is to elevate the support network that has been so vital to families touched by holoprosencephaly. “I believe we are stronger when we unite, and I am committed to ensuring our organization evolves to meet the diverse needs of every HPE family, honoring both our similarities and our unique journeys,” John said. “This organization provides support and knowledge of the diagnosis while providing a community of people who are like my family or have similar experiences. That type of community does not exist outside of Families for HoPE.”
John leads and collaborates with a six-member board that includes Vice President Robert Hamilton, Treasurer Arika Gates, Secretary Brian Hargrove, members Amy Rose, Margie Wright, Steve Harley and Susan Millender who serves as executive director and nonvoting board member.
