Choose Joy - feat. Kate Doerge

Choose Joy - feat. Kate Doerge

Today I'm honored to be speaking with Kate Doerge. Kate's daughter, Penny passed away in November 2022 from Neurofibromatosis (NF) - the most common genetic disorder in children, yet one of which there is still no cure.

In the wake of Penny's passing, Kate, her husband Chad, their family, friends and Penny's friends founded the Penny's Flight Foundation. The work and mission of this foundation has turned into a national movement to find a cure for NF. All who were touched by Penny have approached the mission of Penny's Flight with the same boundless positivity, joy and enthusiasm that defined Penny's life.

To kick off the month of May, which is Neurofibromatosis Awareness Month, Kate and I talk in this episode about Penny's incredible life and legacy and what she and communities across the country are doing to raise awareness and funds to find a cure for NF.

Get ready to be inspired by Kate, her family, and friends who have transformed a great loss into an incredible movement to honor beloved Penny and to make a difference in the lives of others.
