Will is a British swimmer who represented Team GB at the Paralympic Games in Tokyo 2021. Will was born with Achondroplasia, a form of dwarfism, and following his return from Tokyo he started to speak up about the verbal abuse he often received due to his condition. He was fed up with the bullying behaviours which he is often subjected to and he put a call out on social media asking for change. Since then, he continues to swim train with the aim of being selected for the Paris 2024 Paralympic games, but he has also now met with politicians, been asked to present a TEDx talk and is even involved in creating a specific fashion brand for people with dwarfism.

Kristen joins David Rintell, Head of Patient Advocacy at BridgeBio to tell her personal story about living with achondroplasia and how she became an advocate at just six years old. By third grade, Kristen was speaking to classrooms about what it is like to live with achondroplasia. In the episode, Kristen shares how she has dealt with health issues, overcame adversity and even published her story in the book, Little Legs, Big Heart. She explains that achondroplasia isn't just about height – there are other important quality of life concerns which she has learned to address, while also helping other families navigate the condition. Anne Lee, Senior Director of Global Patient Advocacy at BridgeBio, provides an overview of achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism. She explains how achondroplasia affects a protein in the body called the fibroblast grown factors receptor 3 or FGFR3, which results in slowing down bone growth. Achondroplasia is the most common cause of disproportionate short stature, affecting approximately 55,000 people in the United States and European Union, including up to 10,000 children and adolescents with open growth plates. Anne talks about her work in patient advocacy and what she has learned by listening to people and families living with achondroplasia.

A key goal of eugenics in the 20th century was to eliminate genetic defects from a population. Many countries pursued this with state-led programmes of involuntary sterilisation, even murder. We unpick some of the science behind this dark history, and consider the choices and challenges opened up by the science today. In the mid-19th century, an Augustinian friar called Gregor Mendel made a breakthrough. By breeding pea plants and observing how certain traits were passed on, Mendel realised there must be units - little packets - of information determining characteristics. He had effectively discovered the gene. His insights inspired eugenicists from the 1900s onwards. If traits were passed on by specific genes, then their policies should stop people with ‘bad' genes from having children. Mendel's ideas are still used in classrooms today - to teach about traits like eye colour. But the eugenicists thought Mendel's simple explanations applied to everything - from so-called ‘feeblemindedness' to criminality and even pauperism. Today, we recognise certain genetic conditions as being passed on in a Mendelian way. Achondroplasia - which results in short stature - is one example, caused by a single genetic variant. We hear from Professor Tom Shakespeare about the condition, about his own decision to have children despite knowing the condition was heritable - and the reaction of the medical establishment. We also explore how genetics is taught in schools today - and the danger of relying on Mendel's appealingly simple but misleading account. Contributors: Dr Brian Donovan, senior research scientist at BSCS, Prof Tom Shakespeare, disability researcher at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine; and Dr Christine Patch, principal staff scientist in Genomic Counselling in the Society and Ethics Research group, part of Wellcome Connecting Science.

We will hear how the Medicaid system failed them and how in spite of life challenges, including discrimination, systemic inequity, and personal struggles with alcohol, these women continue to advocate for others.For the visually-minded who prefer to listen and read or for those who need closed captioning, watch the transcript video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qFpEPqzdD0About Angela and BobbieAngela's Podcast: A Little PerspectiveAngela's WebsiteThe book featuring Bobbie's essay: A Little Perspective: REAL Stories of Little LadiesDocumentary EveryBODY Matters featuring AngelaAngela's interview with NPR about the treatment for achondroplasia: https://www.bodiespodcast.com/resource-pages/not-your-averageFrom This EpisodeTulane UniversitySpecial Delivery From Pregnancy to ToddlerhoodMindy Silva - Wired on DevelopmentThe Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)Dwarfism: Raising a Little Person, Wisdom Shared episode with Audrey CurwinDwarfism: Life as a Little Person, Wisdom Shared episode with Jillian CurwinDwarfism: A Mother-Daughter Conversation, Wisdom Shared episode with Audrey and Jillian CurwinFind and Follow Carole and Wisdom Shared:https://www.caroleblueweiss.com/Subscribe to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WisdomSharedCaroleBlueweissFollow me and send me a message on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/caroleblueweissFollow me and send me a message on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carole-blueweiss-pt-dpt-23970279/Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carole_blueweiss/The Wisdom Shared TeamAudio Engineering by Steve Heatherington of Good Podcasting WorksSocial Media and Marketing Coordinator: Kayla Nelson
A key goal of eugenics in the 20th century was to eliminate genetic defects from a population. Many countries pursued this with state-led programmes of involuntary sterilisation, even murder. We unpick some of the science behind this dark history, and consider the choices and challenges opened up by the science today. In the mid-19th century, an Augustinian friar called Gregor Mendel made a breakthrough. By breeding pea plants and observing how certain traits were passed on, Mendel realised there must be units - little packets - of information determining characteristics. He had effectively discovered the gene. His insights inspired eugenicists from the 1900s onwards. If traits were passed on by specific genes, then their policies should stop people with ‘bad' genes from having children. Mendel's ideas are still used in classrooms today - to teach about traits like eye colour. But the eugenicists thought Mendel's simple explanations applied to everything - from so-called ‘feeblemindedness' to criminality and even pauperism. Today, we recognise certain genetic conditions as being passed on in a Mendelian way. Achondroplasia - which results in short stature - is one example, caused by a single genetic variant. We hear from Professor Tom Shakespeare about the condition, about his own decision to have children despite knowing the condition was heritable - and the reaction of the medical establishment. We also explore how genetics is taught in schools today - and the danger of relying on Mendel's appealingly simple but misleading account. Contributors: Dr Brian Donovan, senior research scientist at BSCS; Professor Tom Shakespeare, disability researcher at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine; and Dr Christine Patch, principal staff scientist in Genomic Counselling in the Society and Ethics Research group, part of Wellcome Connecting Science.

In today's episode we will be talking to my good friend Prudie Woods, whose incredibly strong daughter Rosie went to school with my own daughter.As a part of her story Prudie will be sharing how everything changed 6 weeks after the birth of her daughter when they started to realise Rosie had Achondroplasia. This is a genetic condition affecting a protein in the body called the fibroblast growth factor receptor. In achondroplasia, this protein begins to function abnormally, slowing down the growth of bone in the cartilage of the growth plate.What followed was a big life lesson for their entire family on helping someone of short stature live in our world.In today's episode Pru shares:- The moment a nurse first told her she thought her daughter was disproportioned- What it has been like for their whole family as they help Rosie- How she has had to change how she helps Rosie as she becomes more independent and aware of how she fits into the world.Key Quotes“Be kind. That is all you have to do as human being. Be kind.“People are gonna be mean, disability or no disability.”‘If there's someone in your workplace who has a child with a condition. They may be being a duck on the water, but their little legs may be paddling really hard underneath.”If you want to support Prue and Rosie you can check out their children's book, ‘Rosie-May Blue: Mayhem at the pet show” via the website: https://www.rosiemayblue.comFor my other businesses you can find them through the websites:www.altitudefitnessarmidale.com.auwww.trialtitudeperformance.com.auOr you can follow them on Instagram:@Veravidyayoga@Altitudefitnessarmidale@trialtitudeperformance Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to Embers and Wind! Guest Ethan Crough states “Achondroplasia is the type of dwarfism I have. And so, in my TEDx Talk, I talk about achondrophobia, which is a made-up thing because occasionally I'll meet people who are afraid of me because of what I am, not who I am. Just the dwarfism itself frightens people which is odd.” About Ethan's passion to educate people about dwarfism “It really got lit 15 years ago when our first child was born because then I knew I was an agent of change and an agent of service to a broader, a bigger cause.” I'm your host, Keith Weedman. In each podcast episode, you will hear stories. These stories will feel like a tender wind blowing on the embers of service that glow within you. In this weekly show, you will learn ideas, kindling for your embers. It will be your choice to utilize the gentle wind to ignite the kindling. In this episode, we talk about how Ethan discovered his passion for teaching. You will learn about dwarfism and achondroplasia and his passion to educate as many people as possible about dwarfism, diversity and inclusion. Ethan talks about his gift as a communicator that he attributes to achondroplasia. He shares that it is uncommon for two, normal height parents to bear a child who has achondroplasia. He shares how much the odds increase when a parent with achondroplasia has a child. Ethan shares about his experience with dwarfism as a minority group that often unintentionally gets excluded from dialogues about diversity and inclusion. He shares stories to make his point. We talk about Ethan's 5-year journey in Toastmasters and how Toastmasters prepared Ethan to deliver his TEDx Talk. We talk about his friendship with Toastmaster Ant Blair and how Ant and Ethan challenging one another resulted in both of them getting onto the TEDx stage. Ethan talks about his work at Cummins Inc. in corporate responsibility and the calling that he felt which led him to transition back into teaching as a full-time Tech Ed teacher for Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation. We shares that his work experience at Cummins was helpful to Ethan in rewriting the tech ed curriculum to make it a STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) lab. You can contact Ethan through his LinkedIn profile which is listed as the website for this episode. He would be pleased to have a conversation with you if he can help you. You can reach him by email: ecrough@gmail.com. And if you want to watch his TEDx Talk, then click on this YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlr3T9uf7iY&t=8s. Hosted on Acast.

Megan, her husband, and new baby girl are Little People. They all have a form of dwarfism called, Achondroplasia. Megan's journey into motherhood was met with lots of resistance from many different sources, along with the possibility that they could pass on a deadly form of dwarfism to their unborn baby.
