WELCOME TO THE MWSA PODCAST FOR WEDNESDAY, NOV 13th

Have you discussed your long-term care wishes with your loved ones? It’s a ‘not so easy’ conversation, that needs to be had – but how do you even ‘open’ up a dialogue - on such a difficult subject? We get some tips from Laurel Gillespie – CEO of the ‘Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association.

Next have you seen more mustaches on the streets of Calgary this month? “Movember” is in full swing - an initiative aimed at helping men discuss mental health - and have difficult conversations about issues like testicular cancer. We catch up with our MWSA Producer – Reece Schafer – who shares his personal experience navigating his own testicular cancer diagnosis – and recovery.

And finally – this week The Westley Hotel and the “Love for Lewiston Foundation” will host the 3rd Annual “Lemon Light Up” Gala. We hear the emotional story behind the event from Jessica Olstad – who lost her son, Lewiston back in 2017 to Spinal Muscular Atrophy.
