-
- Health & Fitness
For the second in a series of interviews with innovators in advocacy and business, Greg sits down with two powerful women from TSC Alliance - Kari Luther Rosbeck, President and CEO, and Lisa Moss, Vice President of Donor Relations. Kari and Lisa have dedicated their lives to helping individuals and families living with TSC, and they have become heroes within the epilepsy community.
In 2002, Kari founded the annual Comedy for a Cure in Los Angeles, providing much needed laughter to help raise money for TSC research. The event has grown to a highly-anticipated tradition that now raises over $500,000 each year with major comedians performing, and even Greg takes part on stage!
This episode discusses the importance of caregivers, the need to sometimes laugh to get through difficult times, how they raised major funding through charity events, the medical breakthroughs that TSC Alliance is funding and facilitating, and so much more!
