"A Ray of Hope" Hoping for a cure to end the pain! Can you imagine not being able to be hugged or living a life afraid to be touched? What is it like to live in constant, chronic pain? How do you cope when the slightest touch - even a hug, can cause unrelenting excruciating pain? What's it like when standing up too fast can make you faint? Meet Molly Czaikowski, a 17 year old high school senior from the Pittsburgh area, who is living with two debilitating chronic illnesses for which there are no cures. Hear Molly's story as she tells how she has overcome huge obstacles and had to learn to walk again at the age of 16. Learn how her family, friends and faith get her through her darkest hours. Listen as she shares her trials and triuimphs. Join us as we try to raise awareness of Dysautonomia and Reflex Neurovascular Dystrophy (RND)
