In this episode I talk with Nico who has Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS).  Nico worked for CCHS Network inc.  which his mother started.  He revamped the website and planned a global conference for CCHS patients.  

After losing friends to CCHS he decided to branch out and work with people with disabilities at large.  He became a guest on podcasts, and started his own series now on YouTube called “Your Disabled Joy.”
  
Join me as I talk with Nico about his journey both past and present and about CCHS.
