WELCOME! To our Fifth season! We couldn't be here with out our supporters and listeners as we grow the podcast this year significantly! On our official season premier, we have Bill Keegan-whose life is indelibly marked by 9/11, as he is currently battling stage four cancer while continuing to further his nonprofit’s critical mission to provide hope for individuals, families, and communities around the world.

Fueled by his experiences as one of just five decision makers at the World Trade Center site, Bill Keegan founded HEART 9/11 to build resiliency and provide hope for individuals, families and communities affected by natural and man-made disasters in the U.S. and beyond. In addition to providing disaster relief for nearly 20 years, after noticing the effects of stress on himself and other first responders, Bill created HEART 9/11’s SMART Program in collaboration with research scientists, doctors, and emergency responders to help manage job-related stress. Additionally, Bill oversees HEART 9/11’s Responder 2 Responder Assistance program, in which the organization’s volunteers retrofit homes to increase accessibility for emergency responders injured in the line of duty. #Trend with Us!
