THE STORY
The untimely and devastating death, in 2017, of Chloé’s young friend, Humayra Bodhania, a beautiful eight-year-old girl with a big smile and big dreams, motivated Chloé to take action.
Compelled to bring a smile and hope to as many people living with PAH (and other life-threatening illnesses) as possible - to connect and to share her story with them as best as she knew how - Chloé conceived The Smile Tour.

The Smile Tour consists of Chloé touring and performing live at leading hospitals across the United States; she performs for the patients, doctors, nurses, administrators, staff, and the local community. In addition to these performances, Chloé spends the day with patients delivering private, one-on-one acoustic performances at their bedsides.
Chloé launched her 2019 Smile Tour at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital. Due to the Coronavirus, this tour is currently on hold.
Funds raised from The Chloé Temtchine Foundation offset expenses for The Smile Tour that are not covered by sponsorships, grants, or by Chloé’s personal contributions. These funds also help with the production and editing of her series “Super Brave Kids.”
Your tax-deductible gift will help Chloé bring Super Brave Kids and The Smile Tour to life, as well as a smile to people in hospitals struggling with PAH and other life-threatening illnesses, year after year.
With greater awareness comes earlier diagnosis and ultimately leads us one step closer to a cure.
