On Thursday I tuned into ABC's The View to watch two RESOLVE volunteers share their personal stories. Much to my surprise, the entire HOUR of the show was dedicated to infertility. They had a doctor talking about the facts, celebrity couple Giuliana & Bill Rancic talking about their pursuit to be parents, and three personal stories from people, just like you and me. Even Barbara Walters and Sherri Shephard (who host The View)opened up and talked about their own infertility.
I had to pinch myself. A nationally syndicated show was talking about something that RESOLVE has been talking about for 35 years.
I am so proud of our volunteers, Kate, her husband Keith, and Risa who put their own fears aside and stepped forward to talk about their journey so others know they are not alone.
Every day RESOLVE works hard to make an impact on the lives of people diagnosed with infertility. Today, The View played a big role in the impact we will continue to make.
