PKU (Phenylketonuria) is a birth defect that causes an amino acid called phenylalanine

In this Interview, Tia describes her diagnosis with PKU as an infant and the long effort to find a cure including her mother’s fundraising ski trek across Norway.

Having the proper mindset, moving outside your comfort zone, developing and maintaining healthy relationships, and staying focused have been key drivers of success for thousands of years.

“Do not say a little in many words but a great deal in few.”
