In October, FISH is pleased to welcome Susie Wilson as the guest speaker. A remarkable woman living with Type III-IV Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), Susie will share her inspiring life journey and experiences. With more than 30 years of involvement with the OI Foundation, including six years on their Board of Directors, Susie brings valuable insights as the co-chair of the Tampa OI Support Group and the Chair of the Bone China Tea Fundraiser. Locally, Susie is a dedicated volunteer at the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge and serves as a vestry member at Saint Michael All Angels Episcopal Church. Her presentation will highlight her experiences growing up with OI and offer valuable advice on self-advocacy in the medical field.

FISH OF SANCAP encourages all to join this informational lunch where guests will be inspired by the incredible story of Susie Wilson. “We are truly excited to hear Susie’s story,” adds Arnowitz. “Her strength and resilience are sure to leave a lasting impression on all our guests. Seating is limited, so reserve your spot today!” For more information on the Friendly Faces Luncheon or to RSVP, please contact Erika Arnowitz at 239-472-4775.
