The name and focus of the Spinal Muscular Atrophy Podcast, which made its debut last week, have changed. We have decided to integrate stories from FighterMom into the mix. The new focus of the podcast is stories about people and families fighting any serious or incurable disease. The new name is the Fighting Back Podcast, which reflects our dedication to families fighting orphan and other serious diseases. Stories about SMA will still be told, but if you’re a regular listener, you’ll hear about a wide variety of people who are fighting their own fight every day.
In the latest episode of the Fighting Back Podcast (which we’re calling episode 2 since Natasha Wood’s story falls squarely into the new podcast description) our Steve Mullen interviews Edibell Stone. Mrs. Stone is fighting Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy, along with much of the rest of her family. She recently found the FighterMom program by Fight SMA, which provides support and advice for mothers who have become disease advocates for their children. In her own words, we hear about Mrs. Stone’s family and about her fight against the disease.
