100th EPISODE A New Season, A New Era

100 EPISODES!!!It is hard to believe that over 6 years ago, we started Raising Rare as an experiment. How would people react to following the life of a young family affected by an ultra-rare disease? The response has been wonderful. The experience has been transforming. We thank Sanath Kumar Ramesh for sharing his stories all these years.And with our 100th Episode, we start a new era for Raising Rare. Brittany Ratke will be my partner, riding solo in the co-host seat. Brittany and Sanath have shared the co-host role since 2022. With this change, we are going to focus more on Brittany’s family and slowly shape the show to her story and her style. Laughter, tears, and heartfelt questions.Our hope is that our conversation will bring more people from the rare disease community together. As we reflect, we realize how many amazing people we have met along the way.Brittany shares some positive developments in their care team, Everleigh’s school, and family life. They even celebrated Rare Disease Day at school.We also touched on the impact on and of siblings of kiddos with a rare disease. They grow up faster than a lot of kids. They share in ways most people would not realize.We are looking forward to a great season.
