I thoroughly enjoy doing my podcasts. It’s the one thing I truly miss from my radio and TV news reporting days, interviewing extraordinary people every single day. Through The Bonnell Foundation, I now host a weekly podcast, and honestly, I wish I could do them daily. Not only does it bring me so much joy, but it also gives me the opportunity to share the stories of the incredible people I meet along the way.
Kate O’Donnell is one of those people.
Kate was inspired by a brother she never met. Her brother Joey died from cystic fibrosis just three months before she was born. CF is a brutal disease, but the community that rises from this tragedy is filled with some of the most inspiring, compassionate, and courageous people you will ever meet.
Kate’s father, Joe O’Donnell, became one of the cystic fibrosis community’s most influential volunteer leaders and fundraisers. Together with his wife Kathy, they founded The Joey Fund in memory of their son. Today, Kate is helping carry that legacy forward and bringing new energy and passion to the mission.
And trust me, by the end of this podcast, you’re probably going to want a Joey hat of your own. We will explain what that’s all about in the podcast. You can support The Joey Fund
Kate is smart, fun, energetic, and deeply committed to making a difference in the CF community. I know you’ll be inspired by everything she continues to do.
