Jason Blain is a dad to two boys living with MPS II (Hunter Syndrome), a rare and exhausting disease.
In this episode, we talk about what it’s really like to raise kids with severe disabilities—no sugarcoating. Jason opens up about the emotional toll, the fight to keep his marriage strong, and how hardship and gratitude somehow coexist in his world.
He doesn’t pretend to have it all figured out—but what he shares is honest, raw, and hopeful. You’ll walk away challenged and encouraged
