Rett Syndrome with Ayme Sanchez
Posted by ypierre
Based on the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke’s website:
- Rett syndrome affects one in every 10 to 15-thousand female births
- Although, Rett syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the X chromosome, it is not inherited.
- Individuals with Rett syndrome often exhibit autistic-like behaviors in the early stages
Based on the information I have read about Rett, the milestones in my opinion seems to be a cross between Down syndrome and autism.

Chuck Adams has never been afraid of a challenge. In fact, most times, Adams, a lifelong resident of Mattituck , NY , has relished a good challenge. ‘Something More’, is the ultimate test of his “can-do” spirit. Adams, 53, was born with a severed spinal cord. He is paralyzed from the waist down and has used a wheelchair his entire life.
He has been a Vice President of Marketing in the banking world, and is sports journalist with the Times-Review Newspapers and Cablevision. He is also currently a Corp Rep for BJ’s Wholesale Club.

We have all either battled with or know someone dear to us who is battling with some type of addiction, whether it is alcohol, drugs, over the counter medication, and/or cigarettes.

From Tragedy to Triumph with J. Santana
Posted by ypierre
Many (if not all) teens struggle with some form of social acceptance, no matter how much we tell our children, “just be yourself.” They are dealing with the pressures of finding themselves, coupled with trying to fit into what is considered to be “acceptable or the norm,” on top of what everyone else wants them to be.
Jeremy Santana was raised in one parent household along with three brothers and an only sister; he mom was devoted to making sure her children knew the word of God. He started to lead a double life, assuming this was acceptable by his peers. He eventually made a complete turnaround entering into adulthood. Various circumstances led him back to the church.

The Soul of a Survivor with Chandra Leigh Brown
Posted by ypierre
Chandra Leigh Brown is a woman that could easily spent her life with a victim mentality, thrown in the towel, and given up. In 2002, my guest was in what could have been deadly hit and run accident that left her on life support for 2 1/2 weeks. She was not expected to live; she was ejected 50 feet from the passenger window and landed on her head. Although, it was and still is challenging she refuse to give up. She was given a second chance that gave her a new appreciation on life. Chandra was named the International Chairperson for Disabled Individuals for the Oprah Winfrey for Nobel Peace Prize Movement, in 2006.
