Raising Hope: Growing Up with a Parent Who Has Thalassemia
<p>As the producers of “Thalassemia: It’s In Our Blood” we pride ourselves on innovation. Part of this has been introducing topics that have never been talked about, or, discussed very little. We strive to give people, who have not had the opportunity, a platform to share their stories. </p><p>This episode - the first in a trilogy - highlights the perspective of children whose parents have thalassemia. </p><p>Please join us as we talk to Jessica Horstmann and Ryan Colasanti, children of the esteemed Ralph Colasanti - a thalassemia patient, a husband, a father, a grandfather, and the National President of the Cooley’s Anemia Foundation (CAF). </p><p>Jessica and Ryan openly share what it was like being raised by a father who is surviving thalassemia: what lessons they learned, how thalassemia has shaped their family, their motivation for being happy, being positive, and adopting their father’s motto “YOLO”.</p><p>For more information on the Cooley’s Anemia Foundation: <a href="http://www.thalassemia.org">www.thalassemia.org</a></p><p><br></p>
