Nachum welcomed  Dr. Berish Rubin to the air this morning to discuss Familial Dysautonomia (FD) and the upcoming FD Now fundraising dinner.  Familial Dysautonomia is a rare, life-threatening, genetic, neurologic disease present at birth that impairs the autonomic nervous system; rendering each breath, swallow and heartbeat undependable and erratic. Dr. Rubin explained what brought him to specialize in this disease and how FD Now has made important research possible, making a tremendous impact on so many lives. The 11th Annual FD Now Gala Dinner will be taking place tomorrow night, Thursday, June 6 at the  Lawrence Yacht and Country Club (101 Causeway, Lawrence, NY 11559) and everyone is invited! If you can’t make you can still visit the FD Now website and support their invaluable work.
