Season 3, Episode 18, Mar 21, 2023, 04:10 PM
I’m honored to partner with #Same Here, The Global Mental Health Movement to bring you this episode featuring Christopher Wright - PRO BASKETBALL PLAYER & M.S. WARRIOR - Ambassador of #SameHere.
I was introduced to Chris by my dear friend, Eric Kussin, Founder of Same Here. As soon as I heard Chris’ incredible story of perseverance and leadership against the mind-blowing odds as the first NBA player to knowingly compete while battling Multiple Scleroses – I knew I wanted him to share his story with you.
