Meet Cheri:
I am married to Scott and I am a mom to 3 girls. Our middle daughter has Down syndrome and was a surprise diagnosis at birth. I currently work part-time as the accountant at St. Mark's Lutheran Church in Marion, IA. In my free time I enjoy attending my children's sporting events, exercise, cooking, decorating, shopping, and my two dogs!! :) We were excited to learn about HADSA and became active in the group shortly after getting settled in CR and have found it a great way to meet other people who were walking the same path in life. I’m proud to be a part of the HADSA board. |
Meet Lisa:
My husband Eric and I have two boys; Dax and Chase. I am an occupational therapist, but have been staying home the last few years to be with our boys. I have been involved with HADSA since Dax was born, however officially joined the board in 2017. We received a great deal of love and support following Dax’s diagnosis with Down syndrome, heart surgery and PEG tube placement; so my goal is to pay it forward and help current and future HADSA family members! |
Meet Jill:
I, along with my husband Chad, are originally from Danville, IL. I work at Virginia Gay Hospital in Vinton, IA as a Physician Assistant in the ER and hospitalist. Chad and I have two daughters; Charlie who is blessed with Down syndrome and Ruby. Charlie’s diagnosis is what fuels my involvement in HADSA. As a family we enjoy traveling and outdoor activities. |

Meet Dale:
I live in Marion with my wife, Heather, and our two kids, Addy and Deacon. I am a University of Iowa grad and work as a mechanical engineer at Marion Process Solutions. My younger sister (who is now 32) has Down syndrome, so I became involved with the Down syndrome community very early in my life. Years later as Heather and I started a family we were blessed with our daughter also having Down syndrome. I became a part of HADSA so I could share my experiences in order to help others. My life has truly been blessed by Down syndrome. |

Meet Lindsey:
I grew up in Fairbank, a small town in NE Iowa. I currently reside in Blairstown, IA with my boyfriend, Keith. I work at The Hotel at Kirkwood Center as a Revenue and Marketing Coordinator as well as doing some respite care for a family blessed by Down Syndrome. The later of the two presented me with the opportunity to work with all of you. I am so happy to add Program Coordinator for this wonderful organization to my daily life, and look forward to all the wonderful things that we continue to do for the community! |
