Creating community

If you received a diagnosis of a rare illness, you might find yourself with many questions and the desire to speak to someone about what to expect. This was the case for Barbara Fountain, who after finding limited support for young people with tongue cancer, established a community of her own. This community has grown in to the global charity Young Tongues. In this episode we'll hear from Barbara and volunteer Nat about how being involved in Young Tongues makes a difference; supporting those with tongue cancer in sometimes unexpected ways.
