What's Going On: Vote Early Day, Emily's Entourage

Published: Oct. 21, 2022, 9:17 p.m.

b'Before we get started - a quick update on my training for the AACR Philadelphia Marathon Weekend where I\'ll be running the 8k. A little set back - I have a cold and I feel crappy so that ruled out running for the past few days but I\'m taking my vitamin c, getting rest and will be back training for the event November 19-20th to benefit the American Association for Cancer Research. Join me or donate by going to www.aacr.org/runnersforresearch.

I get to meet some very impressive people in my work and this week I get to share my interview with Emily Kramer-Golinkoff, a 37-year-old with advanced-stage cystic fibrosis. There\'ve been incredible breakthroughs in this disease that used to end the lives of those with it by 30. But there\'s still a minority of people with CF who don\'t benefit from the current treatments. This morning I talk with Emily about her nonprofit - Emily\'s Entourage.

First, we have a very important election coming up. I speak to Jay Osterman Manager, social impact MTV Entertainment Studio which is partnering with The Committee of Seventy and the Philadelphia Commissioner\'s Office for a Vote Early Day Rally at the South Side of City Hall from noon to 3. There residents can vote early, register and find out everything they need to know to vote in the upcoming November election.
