In this episode, we talk to Laura Bray, Founder and Chief Change Maker at Angels for Change. Laura shares the story of her nine year old daughter’s battle with cancer and her first-hand experience facing 3 drug shortages of life-saving medicines during her 9 months of treatment.
When faced with this life threatening situation, Laura took matters into her own hands and enlisted the help of friends and family to do whatever necessary to get her daughter the medicines she needed. Throughout their journey, they learned about a systemic problem with medication shortages for life saving pediatric cancer treatments and while she was able to fix the problem for Abby, she could not rest knowing that this was a pervasive issue that parents and children all across the country were facing every day. She knew something needed to change and so she created Angels for Change.
With Laura’s determination and perseverance, Angels for Change has not only helped countless families get the life-saving medications they need but is now bringing key industry players in the pharmaceutical supply chain to create a more resilient supply chain and end drug shortages for good.
