This episode of the podcast is dedicated to the 2nd Annual Cars & Cures Car Show benefitting a nonprofit called, Project Alive. The mission of Project Alive is to find a cure for a rare disease called Hunter Syndrome. “Project Alive is a powerful voice for children and adults with Hunter Syndrome, bringing together families and advocates with researchers, industry, and regulators. Project Alive funds promising curative research, assists researchers and industry with designing research studies for our community, and advocates for the most effective and efficient system of clinical research, evaluation, and approval. Through its innovative campaigns and grassroots efforts, Project Alive has made significant advances in public awareness about Hunter Syndrome and its symptoms, the need for early diagnosis, and available treatments and clinical trials.” – From the Project Alive website. It was really great sitting down and speaking with Melissa Hogan, the Founder and past President of Project Alive and three of her friends that have come together to help make Cars & Cures a reality! Barbara Esteves runs a PR company that has helped with raising awareness, Liz Hadaway is the “Director of Chaos” at Mill Creek Brewery and Albert Ayotte is the owner of Mill Creek Automotive. All three of these individuals are passionate about facilitating the mission of Project Alive. They all have a big heart and care about providing opportunities for the community to come together to support local businesses and really notable/worthy causes. They have some really great insights on the typical STP topics and we get the full story about how this awesome event came to fruition!
