Cynthia Zorn is a mom who has chosen to be a passionate advocate for her daughter, Mackenzie, who was diagnosed with narcolepsy (specifically, Type 1 Narcolepsy with Cataplexy), a serious sleep disorder, at the early age of 10. When Cynthia noticed uncharacteristic behaviors in Mackenzie, who went from being very active to sleeping an inordinate amount, Cynthia didn't give up on pursuing a diagnosis, which took a year. Cynthia's faith has remained strong, and she has been inspired by her daughter's vibrant relationship with Jesus. You'll hear about their trust in God in the midst of a difficult circumstance and their determination to bring good to others through it. 

Cynthia has written an article about being an advocate for your children. You can find it on my website, www.extraordinary.live/blog-1-1 or by clicking here.  She also mentions a helpful organization for those who have or think they might have a sleep disorder: project sleep at https://project-sleep.com/.
