From Tragedy to Hope: a personal story o...

THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY
About this episode

Listen to the personal story and inspiring words of Kelsey Rahe.  Kelsey was supposed to start dental school 2 years ago when she learned of her mother’s suicide.  In this podcast, Kelsey shares how she turned her shock, despair, and grief into saving another’s life through donating her bone marrow - on the one-year anniversary of her mother’s death. She has become a national spokesperson for the bone marrow registry. Recorded during suicide awareness and prevention month, Kelsey tells us what we can do to follow her lead in wellness, self-care, and in helping others. Kelsey is now a 2nd-year dental student.
