VIEWER COMMENTS

"Inspiration with Lance Heft is a beacon of what's right in a world so keenly focused on what's wrong. I was particularly moved by Lance's interview with singer/songwriter, Regie Hamm, whose daughter suffers from the same rare genetic disorder (Angelman Syndrome) as my own daughter. So nice to hear from someone else who is also on this challenging journey and so appreciative that Regie has answered his calling to give voice and hope to the Angelman Community. Kudos to Lance and everyone behind the scenes for bringing us this kind of inspiration. Good news is always welcome here!"
