In this episode I talk with Nico who has Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS). Nico worked for CCHS Network inc. which his mother started. He revamped the website and planned a global conference for CCHS patients.
After losing friends to CCHS he decided to branch out and work with people with disabilities at large. He became a guest on podcasts, and started his own series now on YouTube called “Your Disabled Joy.”
Join me as I talk with Nico about his journey both past and present and about CCHS.
