(00 - 6:58) Myasthenia Gravis is a rare and chronic autoimmune disease that affects the nerves and muscles in the body. Vera Krewsun, Heidi Claus and David Yonki join the show to shed a spotlight on the disease and local support group for area residents living with Generalized MG - or gMG - and highlight and upcoming free educational event happening on April 23rd. Vera's husband, Harry, helped start the group, based out of Moosic, in 2011. He was diagnosed with MG in 2004. The trio hope to spread awareness of the disease and educate the public on symptoms such as droopy eyes, difficulty breathing, double vision, speech difficulty and more. The free event will be held at Harvest Seasonal Grill in Moosic and feature speakers, information and more. You can register for the event at AlexionGMGevents.com, at the door or by calling 570-822-2776.

Bass said the 8.2 mile run will take place May 16th, and will start and end at Grotto Pizza. Proceeds from the event will support community programs - particularly around first responders. Pre-registration is now live at NEPARunner.com and NEPARacing.com through May 3rd.

(14:53 - 30) Chris von Ahnen joins Marcy to talk about what's happening at the Deutsch Institute. The executive director discusses what the nonprofit is, how it works, an exciting move and upgrade to Scranton's Robinson Park and a champagne brunch fundraiser coming up on May 17th at the Waldorf Park Social Club! The Deutsch Institute works to develop and expand resources and opportunities within the region in order to improve health and well being for persons with special needs. It was founded in 1979, and includes the Verve Vertu art studio in Dallas.
