Who is in your family?
David (husband for 35 years), Victoria & Dustin McLearen, (newlyweds), Lexi, Cole, & Dawson
What do you want people to know about your family?
We are so thankful for the lessons we have learned and our CHARGE Family!
Why do you volunteer with the Foundation?
The Foundation has been instrumental in helping us with decisions about how best to support and raise our daughter with CHARGE syndrome. I have always looked forward to getting together with others that totally get how life is. I love to meet new families and give them hope and encouragement. There is always joy even when times are hard, sometimes its helpful to be reminded of that!
What activities do you/your family like to do?
We are a family that works together and plays together. We own family businesses & a ranch so there is always a lot of work to do. During our down time we love to spend time on the back porch cooking and eating. We also love to hunt and travel!
