Sarc Fighter: Living with Sarcoidosis and other rare diseases John Carlin

Joining me today on the FSr Sarc Fighter Podcast is Sanjay Shukla, CEO of aTyr Pharma.  Sanjay returns to the podcast with a promising update on Efzofitimod, the most promising candidate to become the first drug developed specifically to fight sarcoidosis.  Sanjay joins the podcast from Brazil, just one of the countries around the world, where the drug is in clinical trials.  He will discuss how much more testing is needed and when the drug could become available to sarcoidosis patients.

Episode 111 is a special episode of the FSR Sarc Fighter podcast.  It's sarcoidosis awareness month -- and the folks who are fighting for us at FSR want to get the word out.  So Angela O'Malley and Cathi Davis join me for the show to talk about how they are working behind the scenes to get people to "Say Sarcoidosis."  But also on the show is fellow sarc fighter Mathew Hall, who is an Ironman triathlete, who found himself in a hospital bed -- unable even to take a walk down the hall.  He joins the show as well to share his story and to talk about his plans to bounce back to the extent he can -- and to use it to raise awareness and some funding for FSR.

In this Episode of the Sarc Fighter podcast, we learn how Walgreens is making Sarcoidosis a priority for its customers.  Not only is Walgreens doing a fundraiser for the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research -- the chain is talking about the disease and spreading the word that sarcoidosis is out there, that patients need help, and that the disease needs to be recognized as a big problem for the medical community.  Listen in as Melissa Pharo of Walgreens and Angela O'Malley of FSR join me to talk about how this major pharmaceutical chain recognizes the needs of the sarcoidosis community.

Mark Simbrowsky is a big-time runner.  He runs marathons.  But Sarcoidosis said, "Not so fast."  Mark suffers from cardiac sarcoidosis.  He went from being the fittest person in the room to a hospital bed, and nobody knew why.  Now after a long journey, he is returning to his old form -- but it hasn't been easy. 
This episode of the Sarc Fighter Podcast is presented by aTyr Pharma.
