This podcast offers families and friends of children affected by CVI something we all need more of: hope. Each episode is an opportunity to follow one child’s unique path from diagnosis to present. Each child featured has a message for us. Each parent interviewed has shared something which inspired me. This is awesome! Thank you.

I’m sure Grace and the great work you and Dan are doing advocating for CVI will bring exposure... more
