Navigating Life with ALS: A Caregiver's Journey and Advocacy
Chanda Brigance is a Houston-born educator, caregiver, author, and inspirational speaker with a lifelong commitment to service. As the wife of a professional athlete, Chanda put her career aside to support her husband's athletic career. When O.J. was diagnosed with ALS, Chanda immediately stepped into the role of his primary caregiver. As she began to learn more about ALS, she became a staunch advocate for teaching about the disease and also began support initiatives for other caregivers. In 2008, Chanda co-founded the Brigance Brigade Foundation alongside her husband. Chanda speaks around the country about caregivers' mental health and has authored a collection of three best-selling children's books that help kids of parents suffering from disabling diseases cope, titled CHAN IS A CAREGIVER®.
In this episode we discuss Chanda’s experience as the wife and primary caregiver of NFL athlete OJ Brigance, who was diagnosed with ALS in 2007, becoming an advocate for ALS awareness and caregiver support as well as the “Chanda Action Initiative”.
