Spread The Positive Podcast

This episode of the podcast is dedicated to the 2nd Annual Cars & Cures Car Show benefitting a nonprofit called, Project Alive. The mission of Project Alive is to find a cure for a rare disease called Hunter Syndrome.

"Project Alive is a powerful voice for children and adults with Hunter Syndrome, bringing together families and advocates with researchers, industry, and regulators. Project Alive funds promising curative research, assists researchers and industry with designing research studies for our community, and advocates for the most effective and efficient system of clinical research, evaluation, and approval. Through its innovative campaigns and grassroots efforts, Project Alive has made significant advances in public awareness about Hunter Syndrome and its symptoms, the need for early diagnosis, and available treatments and clinical trials." - From the Project Alive website.

It was really great sitting down and speaking with Melissa Hogan, the Founder and past President of Project Alive and three of her friends that have come together to help make Cars & Cures a reality! Barbara Esteves runs a PR company that has helped with raising awareness, Liz Hadaway is the "Director of Chaos" at Mill Creek Brewery and Albert Ayotte is the owner of Mill Creek Automotive. All three of these individuals are passionate about facilitating the mission of Project Alive. They all have a big heart and care about providing opportunities for the community to come together to support local businesses and really notable/worthy causes. They have some really great insights on the typical STP topics and we get the full story about how this awesome event came to fruition!

The event is happening on September 28th, 2019 from 10:00-3:00 at Mill Creek Brewery. There will be live music, delicious craft beer from Mill Creek Brewery, food trucks, bouncey houses/inflatables, and of course cool cars/trucks/motorcycles!

Live Music Performers: The William Blake Band, Tiffany Williams, Tarryn Smith, Jenna LaMaster & Brett Sheroky.

Food Trucks: Cousin’s Lobster, Dawg Days, Meadow’s Melts, and the Peach Cobbler Factory.

An absolutely incredible episode with Brady Silverwood and Nate Hiser. Brady is currently running across America and one of his best friends Nate is following him in an RV. Brady joined Grand AC Run Club based out of California last year in August and needless to say it has completely changed his life. From barely being able to run 3 miles to running 3,000 Brady has decided to do what very few people have done before and that is run across the United States. More people have climbed Mt. Everest than have completed this daunting task. Brady has partnered with 12 nonprofits that are assisting in the most instrumental work needed on a global scale to raise money and awareness through this initiative. It's a truly amazing story and very inspiring to say the least. His close friend Nate is playing a very instrumental role in being his driver and right hand man during this whole mission. Just a really incredible story and mission in every sense of the word. Big shouts to Brady and Nate both for all they are doing to Spread The Positive and change lives on a massive scale.
