n 2020, my friend Eric Borstein’s life changed dramatically when he collapsed at home from massive right heart failure and was diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a rare and life-threatening disease with no cure. He’s GRATEFUL to be alive and here to share his story as we gear up for his 3rd annual Where is EB? 5k fundraiser in Santa Monica Sunday Sept. 20th.On this podcast, hear Lisa Foxx talk with Eric all about his story and why this fundraiser is so important.

He spent sixteen days in the intensive care unit at Cedars Sinai Medical Center, fighting for his life. In the aftermath of his diagnosis, Eric turned to walking as a pathway to physical and emotional healing. What began as short strolls grew into a vital, empowering part of his life. Between 2022 and 2024, Eric walked over 14,500 miles, a testament to his resilience and his commitment to managing life with PAH.

Excited to announce the Third Annual Where is EB? will be on Sunday, September 20th for a meaningful morning of community, light refreshments, and a 5K walk in support of those living with pulmonary hypertension (PH). This event will culminate in a powerful sendoff as Eric begins his incredible journey walking from Los Angeles to San Diego to raise critical funds and awareness for PH — a devastation disease that most people have never heard of. Come out and join us to show your support and help bring hope to patients and families fighting pulmonary hypertension everyday. Our friend Mario Lopez will be stopping by too to help with incredible raffle prizes from 104.3 MYFM & iHeart Radio!

Driven by compassion, love and kindness, the LA Strong Foundation is a 501(c)(3) providing essential supplies to help families, women, children, domestic violence survivors, foster, youth & LA Fire survivors rebuild with dignity & hope. They are grassroots, boots on the ground, first and fast responders and simplify the process of accessing urgent aid for those in crisis by giving direct assistance. They are family owned and run by the Koven family Rabbi Drew, wife Maxi and son Jordan. lastrongfoundation.org for more...

Aired August 9, 2026: In this podcast, Lisa Foxx chats with Rabbi Drew... 

'The first time I had you on the air, was after our devastating LA Wildfires...that's when and WHY you started the LA Strong Foundation, right'?

'I know we are going to talk about all these Back To School events you are doing and offering help with supplies for so many...but how have you transitioned into helping MORE people and who have you found is the most in need'?? We discuss it all...these folks are AMAZING! Using their contacts and resources to GET THINGS DONE! Get people in need what they need and FAST! 🙂 

Rabbi Drew, then passes the phone to the founder of Local Hearts Foundation , who they teamed up with to do this Back to School event. They turn neighbors into changemakers. Rooted in Long Beach and greater Los Angeles County, they run 100% people-powered programs that are volunteer-led, locally funded, and built from the ground up on community, compassion, and service. Thank you Francisco "Tito" Rodriguez (also known as "Hood Santa") for all that you do!!

Aired August 9, 2026: In this podcast, Lisa Foxx chats with Rabbi Drew...&nbsp;
'The first time I had you on the air, was after our devastating LA Wildfires...that's when and WHY you started the LA Strong Foundation, right'?
'I know we are going to talk about all these Back To School events you are doing and offering help with supplies for so many...but how have you transitioned into helping MORE people and who have you found is the most in need'?? We discuss it all...these folks are AMAZING! Using their contacts and resources to GET THINGS DONE! Get people in need what they need and FAST! 🙂&nbsp;
