I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope.
She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive.
But the FDA recently denied its approval.
Now, her health hangs in the balance.
Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

I was a kid standing in the hatchway at the top of the ladder down to the engine room on an old tug my pop was renting to the production company.
David Jansen came up the ladder fast and seeing me barked, "whose kid is this? Go home kid."
So kind.
