Care More Be Better: A Podcast For Sustainable Social Impact and Regeneration
In this episode, since most podcasts “podfade” by episode 7 (and since this is #7 if you count our trailer episode) we honor the podcasts that helped us get started, from the friendly podcasters who offered advice to those who offered air time. A big shout out is due to Carolyn Kiel of Beyond 6 Seconds, Anne Marie Cannon of Armchair Historians and Mathew Passy of Causepods (links to each show are below this intro).
This episode is special in another way. I explore the difficulties experienced by those diagnosed with rare diseases as I interview my father-in-law, Robert Bellizzi. Bob is the Executive Director and Founder of The Corneal Dystrophy Foundation. He started this not-for-profit organization back in 1998 as a grass-roots patient to patient online support group called Fuchs’ Friends. This platform provides resources that did not exist, trailblazing a platform that enabled patients to support one another. Fuchs’ Friends and The Corneal Dystrophy Foundation now serves patients in over 150 countries and has a current membership of approximately 3000.
