A mother’s love is the heart of Behind the Mystery. Carri created the series out of a personal quest to uncover her daughter’s diagnosis. For her, the journey has been both bittersweet and deeply rewarding. She feels immense gratitude for the opportunity to share powerful rare disease stories and is honored to help others discover diagnoses, access treatments, find support, and explore clinical trials. What began as a few television segments to help her own family has evolved into a mission to raise awareness for all rare diseases.
