Cara Yar Khan talks HIBM and Fighting The Stigma of Disabiltiy

I had the pleasure to sit down and talk with Cara E. Yar Khan UNICEF, Child Protection Specialist today. Cara
joined UNICEF in 2007, after working 6 years with the U.N. World Food Program
in Ecuador, Dell Inc. in Panama and as a private consultant in China. From
UNICEF Angola, she was transferred to UNICEF China to support the Sichuan
Earthquake Emergency Operation. This was followed by UNICEF assignments in
Botswana, Madagascar, Mozambique, Thailand and most recently, Haiti, where she
served as the Resource Mobilization Specialist and Disability Focal Point for
two years.
At
the age of 30 was diagnosed with a very rare recessive genetic condition,
Hereditary Inclusion Body Myopathy (HIBM). HIBM is an adult-onset progressive
muscle-wasting disease which affects all skeletal muscles, typically leading to
incapacity within 10-15 years. There are fewer than 1,000 known patients
worldwide and at present, there is no approved treatment or cure. Thirteen
years after her initial onset, the first fall, Cara now walks with the aid of
leg braces and a walker.If you think that was going to stop her....YOU ARE WRONG!  Her diagnosis has only strengthened her mission to reach more platforms to fight the stigma of disability. Cara is a true angel on earth and I am humbled by her grace. Take a few minutes to listen to her POWERFUL story.

Today I sat down with a Hal Price, Heroic Heart Specialist & Spiritual
Empowerment Coach. We talk health, death, spirituality & transformation.As a recovering workaholic disguised as a highly successful Fortune 100
corporate branding and marketing executive, Hal hid his authentic self and his
divine gifts from the world for over 40 years.
In 2013, surrounded by the death of both parents, lack of fulfillment in his work and a
physical heart challenge, Hal set off on his transformational journey on
February of 2014 to identify and reclaim his own "Heroic Heart."
This personal journey is birthing Hal as the author of a series of

"Super Hero Camps." Under the guise of Hal’s destiny to claim
his own "Heroic Heart," these books and camps are designed to create
and nurture meaningful, lifetime connections between children and their parents
