Episodes Notes

Lexi Townsin lost her life to a rare disease called Blau syndrome just before her 7th birthday.

Despite her pain, Lexi chose every day to live her best life and through her courage, compassion and her charismatic personality she inspired others to do the same. 

11-year-old Felix Townsin has a goal to keep her legacy alive, and raise $10,000 before his 12th birthday for Blau Syndrome, using a book he wrote when he was just five years old, Don't Floss Your Toes: Advice from a 5-year-old.  

Today on Connections, Felix and his mother, Cheryl-Lynn, share a bit about Lexi's life, about Blau Syndrome and how you can help find a cure.
