The PWS Roadshow is a series of events throughout the Pacific Northwest, put on by the Washington/Oregon chapter of PWSA and sponsored by Soleno Therapeutics, the makers of VYKAT XR, the only FDA-approved treatment for hyperphagia.  It is an opportunity to meet local PWS families, ask experts and connect with PWS professionals in the area, learn about new and potential treatments for hyperphagia, and connect with Soleno PACE for product support and resources.As Vonnie Sheadel, chapter president, host of the PWS roadshow, and mom to Bill (46, living with PWS) wrote:“Because PWS is rare, families frequently face isolation, often traveling vast distances just to find specialized support. The PWS Roadshow is actively changing that narrative by establishing immediate, tight-knit local circles of permanent support right in these families’ backyards—including connecting with individuals and families who may have been missed by traditional outreach in the past.”In this episode you’ll hear from Vonnie herself, Cainan (adult living with PWS), and his mom Heather, PWS parents Joseph and Erin, and PWS United's co-host Anne and her daughter Freya (living with PWS), all talking about the Medford PWS Roadshow, along with the value and importance of creating and attending events like these.PWS Link Map | MysiteEvents | PWSA-OR-WA.ORG Intro Music: https://www.bensound.com/  License certificate #2242442 Music: www.purple-planet.com
