E4: Advocacy - Your Voice Matters

Lara and Mary talk advocacy in this episode. First, they check in with one another and discover that they each had an unexpected recent experience. They talk a bit about how these experiences indicate personal growth. Then they dig into advocacy, their why, and how. They have spent so much time using their voices in small and big ways for the ALS community, in particular, the veterans with ALS lane.
