Kudos Drs Smoom, Tzfati & team!!!

I haven’t told my health story here so I figured I would. I was born with an extremely rare lung disease with a 90+% mortality rate in infancy. I survived against all odds & was told when I was about 16/17 that I was terminal & would not make it past 19/20.

Principally, I have an aversion to guidelines because of my concerns for the wellness of those who participate in writing them.

I recently spoke with our inaugural MBK Alliance Ambassadors – a group of talented, inspiring young leaders from across the country who are working to give back to their communities. I’m looking forward to following their progress and having them back as alumni to share what they’ve learned.
