Vance Collins

Vance resides in Paradise, Newfoundland. He is married to Sonya Collins, his high school sweetheart. Together they have raised two lovely daughters and last year they became grandparents to their beautiful granddaughter.  Sonya was diagnosed with IPAH in 2003, when their daughters were just 4 years and   20 months old.

Vance became the   primary caregiver of his wife, and two small children while trying to juggle a job that required him to travel.  He has carried a lot of weight on his shoulders caring for a chronically ill wife, two young children, Woking long hours and travelling for work while trying to maintain a household.

He has attended several conferences over the last few years and has also been involved with meetings to help raise awareness for Pulmonary Hypertension.
