Grief doesn't look the same for everyone. It shows up in waves, in silence, and sometimes, it becomes the force that moves you forward. This week on Kidney Cancer Unfiltered, host Annamaria Scaccia sits down with Ritchie Johnson, MBA, BSN, RN, President and Founder of the Chris “CJ” Johnson Foundation. After losing her son to Renal Medullary Carcinoma (RMC), Ritchie turned his legacy into a mission to dismantle the systemic barriers facing the RMC community. In this episode, we discuss:

🧡 What it means to turn grief into advocacy

🩺 The reality of RMC: a "wildfire" cancer that demands urgent, expert care

🤝 Breaking down medical "silos" to ensure no patient is left behind
