In the final episode of Rare Diseases, Real Stories, two Massachusetts mothers who lost their children to rare diseases share how they turned their grief into purpose. Blyth Taylor Lord started the Courageous Parents Network 13 years after her daughter, Cameron, died from Tay-Sachs disease. Jennifer Siedman lost her son, Ben, to Sanfilippo syndrome just shy of his 18th birthday. Together, Lord and Seidman launched the network to empower and support parents whose children are diagnosed with rare diseases and other serious illnesses.
