PLAY IT FORWARD FOR FSGS

Every FSGS story has the power to make a meaningful difference in someone else’s life. Play It Forward was created to empower the community to share your personal experiences to provide hope and inspiration to others facing similar challenges.

The first members of the community are Brian Kennedy and David Rush, who have embraced music to express their personal experience of living with FSGS, and the power they feel in community. They hope this track resonates with everyone living with FSGS and beyond. If it moves you, join the movement and share your story.

The stories that started the movement

Brian Kennedy

Grammy-Award Winning Producer, Songwriter, Artist, Founder of Hits to Healing

“Music was the saving grace when I was sick, I was able to utilize it to create some form of therapy and some form of joy, in the craziest times.”

David Rush

“Living with FSGS taught me that every day is precious. The music we create today might be the light someone else needs tomorrow.”

Destyn Fuller-Hope

Director

“I learned very recently that something as simple as taking your kids to school is a win. Something as simple as taking the trash out is a win – and just showing up in the smallest ways, it’s a win.”
