This week I sit down with the ever-inspiring Lauren Richardson to talk about her advocacy work as an individual with FASD. Diagnosed with FASD at 27 yrs old Lauren is passionate to make the world a safer place for those yet to be born as well as for people with FASD, like her, today. In past years Lauren has used Go Fund Me pages to hire billboards and bus ads proclaiming the dangers of prenatal alcohol exposure to the unborn as her FASD Awareness Day efforts. This year Lauren has embarked on another impressive undertaking that is sure to inspire you! It is Lauren's dream to open a Centre for FASD in her community! Lauren has started a Go Fund Me page to begin raising funds for a Centre for FASD that would provide FASD training, support, resource connections, and a place of belonging for individuals with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and their families. You can support Lauren's dream by donating https://gofund.me/265a5e34
