8. Laura Fillenwarth - "keenchicago.org"

This week, we welcome Laura Fillenwarth to the show. Laura is our first non-performer and is the executive director of Keen Chicago. Keen Chicago provides free recreational opportunities to children and young adults with disabilities. Laura talks about Keen's mission, her personal journey with keen, and raising a child with a disability (in addition to the 140 children she raises with Keen!). We also learn, many times, how to spell keenchicago.org.
