What happens when a preventable infection takes the life of someone you love? In this
episode, Christian John Lillis shares the heartbreaking story of losing his mom to C. difficile, a bacterial infection, and how that loss inspired his mission to fight back. He talks about what everyone needs to know about C. diff: the warning signs, how it spreads, the importance of early treatment and steps we can all take to prevent it becoming more serious. This is more than a story of loss—it’s a call to action for awareness, advocacy and protecting our loved ones.
