Lisa Ostrow

50 In 52 Journey interview of Lisa Ostrow. Music has always been a part of Lisa Ostrow's life, from growing up with a Father who played in an orchestra, to ten years of professional instruction on the piano herself, to having three daughters who all have musical gifts. What she didn't know was how music would play such a huge role in her life after she found out her twin daughters had PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease). In 2007 Lisa released a musical CD that not only included her incredible piano playing and angelic voice but also had the whole family contributing on tracks on the album which made it into iTunes top 100 on the easy listening section. What makes the album even more special is that all proceeds are being donated to help find a cure for PKD. In addition, Lisa is fast becoming a spokesperson for PKD helping educate and gain awareness of a common disease that few know about. Also, she and her children are outspoken about educating people with respects to organ donation and the importance such a gift can make. A mom with a musical gift who is giving back in amazing ways to help solve the challenge of PKD, not just for her daughters but for the millions worldwide who have this disease. Oh, and if all of this were not enough, there's one other thing we forgot to mention. We'll let Lisa tell you in her own words: "I'm Lisa and I happen to be blind"
