Childhood Interrupted

This episode is nothing short of inspiring. At just 13, Carlos “Coca” Bernard was diagnosed with leukemia. After two grueling years of treatment, just when things seemed to be improving, he was hit with an even rarer diagnosis: aHUS—an ultra-rare autoimmune disease that affects fewer than 1,000 people in the U.S. But what makes Carlos truly extraordinary isn’t just his resilience—it’s his heart. When Make-A-Wish Hudson Valley offered him a wish, he didn’t ask for something for himself. Instead, he chose to give back, launching the Coca Strong 5K/10K to raise awareness and support for others with rare diseases. This conversation is powerful, emotional, and filled with hope. A must-listen that reminds us of the strength of the human spirit—and the difference one person can make.
