Ep69: Joe Gill: Inclusion, Purpose, and the Little Things
Description
Welcome to another episode in our podcast series, Sibling Advocacy, where we speak with siblings about how they show up for their loved one with PWS, whether at the kitchen table, at school, in friend groups or government, or any place where their sibling may need them.
Today's episode, hosted by Elaine Towle, PWSA | USA's Advocacy Specialist and mom to James, living with PWS, is with Joe Gill. Joe is the older brother of Gavin, an almost 20-year-old living with PWS. Joe talks about growing up with PWS in the house, what inclusion looks like for Gavin, the need for opportunities for adults, and offers some advice for other siblings on this journey. In 2022, as part of raising funds and awareness, Joe ran the Boston Marathon.
With a diagnosis as challenging as PWS can be, we hope families will find this episode, and this series, refreshing and insightful. Thank you to all the siblings advocating and showing up for their loved one with PWS!
