I found my 'sister-in-arms' through a newspaper cutting

Available for over a year

When Leslie McBain read Petra Schulz’s article about her son Danny's death, she could relate. Danny had died from an accidental drug overdose and so had Leslie's son Jordan. They were both born in the same year and were the same age when they died. Leslie and Petra lived hundreds of miles apart, but they united in their grief and their loss became a call-to-action for other mothers in their situation. They set up a charity called Moms Stop the Harm to provide support for families and try to help shape drug policy in Canada. They tell reporter Katy Davis their story. If you are affected by any of the issues raised in this episode you can find support at the BBC's Action Line.
