Joining me today is Lewis Freese, an incredible young man fresh off the heels of being diagnosed with a rare disease during the pandemic, no less. (I mean, not that there's ever a good time for this to happen but COME ON!) The condition is called IGA Vasculitis and typically affects 2 in 100,000 children each year. As a college student, this threw everyone for a loop, and now Lewis has to spend the rest of his life managing chronic kidney disease, among other fabulous things. He is a genuinely authentic voice for our next great generation. He advocates not just for rare disease awareness but for inclusivity, speaking out as a vocal member of the LGBTQ community. With all that said, we've got a ton of stuff in common and bonded in real-time over the very meaning of advocacy, never accepting the status quo and living life to help others.
