Those who risked their lives as First Responders during the events of 9/11 had no idea what they were walking into. It wasn’t only burning buildings and dust particles. They were bravely walking into the unknown.

And many of them suffered for it. For years. 

First Responders who were at Ground Zero have not only been dealing with long-term health problems. But for nearly two decades, they’ve had to fight the US Government to receive the benefits for the much-needed, and well deserved, healthcare they require.

Finally, a passionate advocate with a platform helped ensure they got what they needed then, and will continue to receive care for the rest of their lives.  

In today’s episode, Ginni shares the hard-to-believe story of how the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act was finally passed by Congress.

You’ll hear about the unexpected hero who suddenly switched gears, turning his weekly comedy show into a powerful platform for advocacy. You’ll learn how his public appreciation for the heroes of 9/11 helped boost awareness of the health repercussions they suffered, and his continued fight for the needs of US Veterans.
