The Story Behind Connect 4 Life: A Founder’s Journey
Season 1, Episode 1
In this inaugural episode of Connect 4 Life: The Podcast, Founder Melanie Taddeo shares her story about how a sudden stroke resulting in blindness changed her career
aspirations – and her life.
Melanie’s journey begins as a 21-year-old university student with dreams and life goals. Then came a stroke, a coma, paralysis and blindness. The recovery process wasn’t her only
challenge: people’s attitudes towards disability, it turned out, were a monumental barrier.
This episode shows how Melanie beat the odds, having become a successful social entrepreneur who created Connect 4 Life, Canada’s only charitable organization of its kind. This episode is the story behind that organization, and the person whose journey has helped make a difference in the lives and livelihoods of so many people with disabilities.
