This week on the Living episode with FASD, host Patti Kasper celebrates International FASD Awareness Day with two distinguished guests, Rebecca Tillou and Jenn Wisdahl. Rebecca shares exciting updates about the Run FASD 5K, a virtual event designed to raise awareness and foster community around FASD. At the same time, Jenn, the COO of FASD United, dives into the numerous resources and events planned for FASD Awareness Month.
Rebecca and Jenn discuss the origins and growth of the Run FASD event, emphasizing its inclusive nature—whether you run, walk, roll, or row, there’s a place for everyone. They also highlight the importance of community involvement and how people can participate, from in-person runs to virtual engagements.

Jenn elaborates on the upcoming Impact Week in Washington, DC, featuring a symposium, the Red Shoes Gala, and Hill Day, where advocates will meet with
legislators to push for the FASD Respect Act. She also touches on the significance of ongoing policy efforts and the need for universal screening and support for individuals with FASD.
