241. Meet the Mission: KidLinks - Noelle Tuominen

Meet Noelle. This passionate mom realized she needed to create a community of like-minded parents after her 1-year-old endured a long ICU visit followed by a Type 1 diagnosis. She created "Type 1 Kid, Type A Mom" with other high-risk families working to keep their kids safe during the pandemic. The experience led her to KidLinks, a nonprofit bringing healing music to children through an online platform and musical performances. Learn how she moved from passionate consumer to marketing director of this mighty mission that does so much to lift joy for chronically sick kids.
