Original Publish Date
March 17, 2021
Episode Description
This episode finishes the story of show host Kenneth Raymond’s personal road trip journey that led to his CMT diagnosis. This is the second installment of a two-part episode. The first episode, Road Trip 1, starts with the story of a 12-year-old climbing a giant oak tree in the dead-of-Winter, and then everything changes all of a sudden, without warning, and nothing would ever be the same for our show host, and this episode picks up right where the first one leaves off, and after a few twists and turns along the way, finishes with how our show host was diagnosed with his CMT.
