Ritchie Johnson is in the dictionary for “turning pain into purpose“. She founded the Chris “CJ” Johnson Foundation in honor of her son Chris, with the goal of ending Renal Medullary Carcinoma. We are so humbled to have her as lead moderator for the RMC virtual support group.

 

It’s no surprise that Ritchie is very popular in the Kidney Cancer community, and is only getting more popular! She was invited to be on Good Morning America’s GMA3 to share her story and how she is actively helping the RMC community.

We’re also pleased to have Ritchie as a panelist for our upcoming webinar “Advocating for Rare Diseases” on June 30th. She’ll discuss her own advocacy journey, and you’ll hear from other amazing members of the Rare Disease community as well. (click image for pdf)
