In this episode Royce Robertson joins me to talk about how he's raising money to make it easier for Sarcoidosis patients to travel to and from their appointments. It can be expensive to travel great distances to the right doctor, as he knows first-hand. Royce and I are also part of a panel discussion on exercise and sarcoidosis coming up at the FSR Summit on June 28. I will also share some personal details about a bit of a difficult time I'm experiencing at a personal level. #sarcoidosis #sarcoidosisawareness
