509 | Surviving Guillain-Barre Syndrome - Interview

Weeks after giving birth, Holly Frances went from being a healthy 26-year-old new mom to paralyzed and on life support—in less than 72 hours. Diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder called Guillain-Barre Syndrome, she was trapped in her own body, unable to move, speak, or hold her newborn daughter. Holly’s new book, Life Support, tells the story of how she struggled to overcome the despair, hopelessness and pain of recovery, to regain her health and get back to being a mother to her daughter. Both a memoir and a resource guide, this is the true story of how Holly found purpose in the 126 days spent in hospital. A journey of strength, determination and hope, Holly’s story reminds us that life doesn’t always go as planned, sometimes, in the most dire and challenging ways, it turns out better.

Paws With Cause shines light on the dark issue of animal neglect and abandonment. We help animal rescues and shelters that are tremendously overworked and underfunded by empowering the public and businesses to do more good. We help people by getting them involved, giving them a way to be part of a solution, and ultimately, inspiring them and lifting their spirits.
