Is there anyone out there that has Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy who is also in their late teens?

My son has this condition and also has a defib so i was just wondering if there was someone out there who could share their story and maybe correspond with my son in regards to how they cope and their lifestyle.

I was going to suggest asking this question at the HCM forum of the cardiomyopathy association, but I see you have already posted there.

I'm glad you're casting a wide net. You should be able to connect with people that share your questions and concerns.
