Program Notes

Ninety million Americans battle chronic illness every day. Too often, when we think of these illnesses such as muscular dystrophy and Crohn’s disease, we think of the catalog of symptoms suffered by victims and not of the human beings who must live every day with these diseases. In a world where normalcy is celebrated, what is it like to live life in a wheelchair or dependent on a cane?  Listen to a special interview with bestselling author of "Blindsided", Richard M. Cohen, who struggles with multiple sclerosis himself, as he brings to life the story of five extraordinary people who are living with chronic illness in his moving new book, "STRONG AT THE BROKEN PLACES": Voices of Illness, a Chorus of Hope.
