I am so excited to be starting off with the first episode of the year with one of the people who inspired me most in 2022.  Shillann Rodrigues-Pena is a Clarkson resident, mother of 3 and in the eyes of myself and many others - a bit of a superwoman.

Her incredible 8 year old daughter Rian was born with a rare condition called AADC Deficiency and their journey from Rian’s birth, to her surgery overseas and her progress since is nothing short of miraculous.  As her mother, Shillann embodies a type of faith, strength and gratitude that many of us can only hope to demonstrate.

"My Heart Song" - book written by Shillann - all proceeds go to a charity supporting other children with AADC Deficiency

When Bruce McIntosh’s son was diagnosed with Autism at a young age, their young family quickly learned the challenges with navigating the system to receive appropriate treatment for their son.  With his background in government, Bruce was well armed to join the informal network of parents facing similar battles.  Soon after, the Ontario Autism Coalition was born, with Bruce as one of the founding members.  He has continued this work in advocacy for over 20 years and continues as a Director of the organization.
