The next episode in our podcast series, Sibling Advocacy, where we will be speaking with siblings about how they show up for their loved one with PWS, whether at the kitchen table, at school, in friend groups or government, or any place where their sibling may need them.
Today's episode, led by Dorothea Lantz, PWSA | USA Director of Community Engagement, is with Henry McDonald, the older sibling of Josie (living with PWS).
Henry is an insightful 14-year-old who refers to him and his sister as the "dynamic duo". He shares his perspective on PWS, how it affects the whole family, and how misinformation isn't a problem when the issue is actually a lack of information. Henry also shares candidly what it was like to advocate for Josie in a political arena, attending therapy appointments with her when he was younger, his thoughts about the future, and more.
With a diagnosis as challenging as PWS can be, we hope families will find this episode, and this series, refreshing and insightful. Thank you to all the siblings advocating and showing up for their loved one with PWS!
