The Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) announces the upcoming launch of the Quest Podcast, featuring conversations on issues facing people with disabilities.
The podcast will be hosted by Mindy Henderson, who lives with neuromuscular disease and is a motivational speaker, author, and host of “The Truth About Things That Suck” podcast. Henderson was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) when she was 15 months old.
Mindy will bring people living with neuromuscular disease into a virtual studio to chat with guest experts about life with neuromuscular disease and disability — how to live, love, work, and get to a more inclusive future, according to MDA in a news release.
“I’m thrilled to be hosting the new Quest Podcast. My goals for this podcast are to share real-life stories and have conversations that will bring hope and a sense of belonging to the neuromuscular disease and disabled community, to bring awareness to the world, and to effect change everywhere we can.”
— Mindy Henderson
“We are proud to launch this powerful platform and give voice to the broader community of those living with disability. Let’s unite in our efforts to support “disability as diversity” and create a culture of inclusion in every aspect of society.”
— Kristine Welker, Chief of Staff for MDA
The Quest Podcast episodes will launch in the third quarter with three episodes, followed by monthly episodes, per the release.
