Lived Experiences of ‘Probable CTE’ and conneCTErs Board Member; Sarah Willey
Episode description
Today, we’re honoured to welcome Sarah Willey—a dedicated volunteer and board member with conneCTErs, an organization raising awareness and offering support around Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). Sarah brings a wealth of experience in healthcare leadership, but she joins us today in an even more personal role: as a wife and mother.
In this episode, Sarah shares what conneCTErs is all about and opens up about her family's journey with what is believed to be CTE. It’s a powerful and heartfelt conversation about the real-life impact and we’re grateful for her courage in sharing her story.
