During my birth month, I am reminded of just how essential medical research and empathetic care are for those of us living with chronic conditions. Over 10 years ago, I suffered a significant loss, one that still feels like it happened just yesterday. Cardiomyopathy took my sister Lorraine after we discovered her condition too late.
Managing a chronic condition like fibromyalgia teaches you firsthand how vital medical research and empathetic care truly are. When my younger brother, faced the exact same diagnosis, it was medical research, dedicated doctors, and early detection that gave him a second chance at life.
Now, my brother Sunge is walking to raise funds for the American Heart Association so other families can get their second chance, too.
As part of this chronic illness community, I know how deeply research matters for all of us. If you are able to support his campaign or simply share this post to help spread the word, I would be so deeply grateful. Thank you so much in advance♥️
