Kayla St. Pierre's Meningitis Story

[@platypuspigeon3103]

Your story was recently featured on MrBallen’s Medical Mysteries podcast, so I imagine you may soon receive an influx of messages! Thank you so much for sharing your story - my brother contracted meningitis when he was 16 and it was the scariest time in mine and my parents lives. I cannot imagine how scary that situation must have been for you at only 10 but it’s clear you were an absolute fighter! Keep doing what you’re doing, you’re an inspiration to all who have been affected by this shitty disease!

Here from Mr Ballen’s Medical Mysteries. Kayla, as someone who has had a meningitis scare and a friend die from the disease, I can’t imagine how scary a time it must have been - and you were only a child. This was such a powerful video to watch. I’m so glad that you’ve found peace and purpose in your life! Thank you for sharing your incredible story. Xx
