The Mark White Show

On this episode of The Mark White Show, we're sharing the story of 8-year-old Atlas, a brave young girl in Kentucky living with Type 1 diabetes, and her mom, Rachel Redwine, who is doing everything she can to keep her safe.

Managing type 1 is a constant, around-the-clock responsibility. It doesn’t stop at bedtime, and it doesn’t take a day off. For Atlas, every day requires awareness, strength, and courage beyond her years.

Now, Rachel is working to bring home a diabetic alert dog. A specially trained companion that can detect dangerous blood sugar changes before they become life-threatening, offering Atlas more safety, more independence, and more peace of mind.

There’s one detail you won’t forget. Atlas has already built a crate for her dog. She’s waiting. She believes.

Sarah is joining me as we talk about how this journey is unfolding and how you can be part of helping Atlas get the support she needs. Listen & share.

On this Make A Difference Minute, Josephine Simonson shares something many people never see. The emotional toll of waiting for a kidney donor. It’s more than appointments and diagnoses. It’s the weight of uncertainty and the hope that someone will step forward. Take a moment to listen and consider how one decision could change everything.
