S3 E70 - Living with Spina Bifida
Show Notes

Billy Winneroski was born with spina bifida and hydrocephalus in 1972. At that time, spina bifida carried a very low survivability rate and children born with it most certainly had a lifetime of health issues and low quality of life. But Billy beat those odds and at nearly 50 years old, has lived a vibrant and productive life and today spends much of his time advocating and supporting families who are dealing with a spina bifida diagnosis.

Billy even had a chance to meet Roman Dinkel, who appeared on Truth Talks during our first season. Roman took the world by storm when a short video of him telling his dog that he could walk went viral. Today, Roman is a thriving kid who himself is overcoming the odds of living a life with spina bifida.
