Cathleen Terrano has sarcoidosis. It's in her kidneys. In her heart. In her lungs. On her spinal cord. Other places too. And yet she has danced with some famous people and keeps on dancing and teaching dance to people who might otherwise miss out on life's precious moments -- like a father-daughter dance at a wedding. Cathleen rocks bright purple hair so people will ask her about it -- and open a pathway to talk about sarcoidosis. In this episode of the FSR Sarc fighter podcast hear Cathleen's story.

Also an update on FSR's recent awards to young researchers and a big think about how a simple pencil can be a model for us all!

On Episode 143 of the FSR Sarc Fighter Podcast, I have two guests. Taylor Harwood, Senior Research Coordinator for FSR, joins me to explain the new and improved patient registry. Even if you've already registered, there is a small step you need to take to ensure researchers can find and use your valuable information. Also joining me is physical therapist Marion Paetznik, who will tell you why it's so important to get or stay moving if you have sarcoidosis.

Dr. Courtney Montgomery wants to know what causes sarcoidosis. She's convinced it's in your genes. Working in the clinic at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, she sees patients every week, while she studies the potential link between Sarcoidosis and a person's genetic code. In this episode of the FSR Sarc Fighter Podcast, she goes over the reasons she believes that certain people are more likely than others to develop this rare disease.
