Meningitis Stories with Painter Sam

Fellow survivor, Samantha Bennett, stops by to share her meningitis experience that begins as a 10-month-old baby and how the fast action of her family and an ER doctor helped her beat the odds. She recalls the countless months spent in the hospital as a child enduring reconstructive surgeries and how she turned to art to express herself. Embracing her scars and her story, Sam connected with the National Meningitis Association (NMA) and the Confederation of Meningitis Organizations (CoMO) and has been an influential advocate for awareness, education, and legislation for over 10 years. Sam talks about her career as an artist and the special role butterflies play.
