Listen Later

In this episode, Prav is joined by a mother who is changing the world! Not just for her own child, but for so many others. Kate Fisher, the founder of Milkshakes for Marleigh - a blood donation initiative in Australia - talks about her daughter's experience of encephalitis and how she now commits her life to blood donor advocacy.

Kate founded Milkshakes for Marleigh after her daughter was diagnosed with seronegative paediatric autoimmune encephalitis and relied on blood donors for her treatment.
