Rogers Daytime Ottawa co-host, Derick Fage, shares inspiring story in confronting his rare Medical Condition

Rogers Daytime Ottawa co-host, Derick Fage, shares inspiring story in confronting his rare medical condition on the "How to Thrive after 35" radio show, produced and hosted by Ottawa motivational author and speaker, Roslyn Franken. The interview will be aired online on March 17th, 2009, at http://howtothriveafter35.podomatic.com/ where it will be available for either immediate listening or as a downloadable podcast.

About Derick Fage

Derick Fage is known as the popular and witty co-host of Rogers Daytime Ottawa. A self-proclaimed child at heart, Derick is curious about everyone and everything, and it's this very quality that engages viewers daily on Daytime. Derick thrives on conveying what's happening in Ottawa to viewers in a fun and informative manner.

What viewers don't know about Derick is that he was born with a rare medical condition that has had a tremendous impact on his life, truly helping to shape his personality and compassion for others. In Derick's interview with Roslyn, Derick shares with listeners meaningful and inspiring insights on how he has chosen to thrive in his life despite his own past challenges.

"By confronting my medical condition and sharing the challenges I faced as a child, I started to understand how lucky I was to have such an incredible support system around me. Speaking with Roslyn has given me an opportunity to thank those who helped me during my critical childhood years and to hopefully inspire others to overcome the challenges they face in life. I am, indeed, Thriving After 35. My dreams of love, family and career have all come true.", says Fage.

"My interview with Derick tells a very honest and human story of someone who has chosen to be a "victor" and not a "victim" of his medical challenges. He shares experiences from his childhood and teenage years in dealing with the shame and fear surrounding his condition and how he learned not only to overcome the physical aspects of his condition, but the mental, emotional and social aspects as well. I'm honoured to have been able to offer Derick the platform of my radio show to allow him to share his inspiring story.", says Franken.

About the "How To Thrive after 35" radio show and podcast

Ottawa motivational author and speaker, Roslyn Franken, launched the "How to Thrive after 35" radio show and podcast in 2008 to educate and inspire those over 35 looking to lighten up their lives one bite at a time. Listeners learn to increase their health, control their weight, balance their lifestyle, and maintain a positive life outlook, despite their age and any past challenge. The show’s motto is, "Why just survive when you can thrive after 35?”, a task not so easily achieved in today's fast-paced and ever-changing world.

In this monthly series, Franken shares her own healthy living insights, tips and principles from her book, The A List: 9 Guiding Principles for Healthy Eating and Positive Living (http://www.thealistbook.com/), a book inspired by her own experiences as a cancer survivor who has also triumphed over her own struggles with food, weight and life outlook management. She also includes informative and inspiring interviews with remarkable guests over 35 who share powerful messages of health, hope and happiness. These messages encourage and mentor people to feel, live and be their best for a life of greater health and happiness.

The show is available for immediate listening or as a download from http://howtothriveafter35.podomatic.com/
