Danielle Leach, Director of Partnerships at Inspire.com, the leading platform for online support communities for health, talks with Joyce about the importance of support -- speaking with someone else who has "been there, done that" -- especially when you are thrown into the unknown by a medical crisis. Danielle was formerly the head of online support for the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance, and the mother of a child with cancer who died at age 5.  She now works with other groups looking to form strong online support communities.
