Jody Hudson - A Promise to Alex

In this deeply moving episode, Jody Hudson shares the heartbreaking yet inspiring story of her daughter Alex's 10-year battle with Lyme disease. From the first mysterious symptoms at age 11 to visiting 40 doctors and facing countless misdiagnoses, Jody and Alex fought together with unwavering faith and determination. Despite the medical community's inability to identify the illness for years, Alex remained a beacon of hope and strength, even as the disease ravaged her body.

 

After Alex's passing in 2018 at just 22 years old, Jody fulfilled her promise to continue the fight against Lyme disease. She authored the award-winning memoir "My Promise to Alex" and established the Alex Hudson Lyme Foundation, which has developed educational programmes with the Girl Scouts of America and provided crucial support to families facing similar battles. Jody's story reminds us that even in our darkest moments, faith, love and purpose can light the way forward. Her message of believing those who suffer, helping them find their voice and trusting in God's presence will resonate with anyone facing mysterious illness or supporting a loved one through difficult times.
