On this week’s episode of New England Lacrosse Journal’s “Chasing The Goal” podcast, hosts Kyle Devitte and Jack Piatelli talk with Quinton and Mark Champagne from the Uncomfortable Silence podcast.
On May 24, 2021, Mark lost the mother of his son, Quinton, after a long battle with dementia. The two had to deal with a very difficult and very real disease that turned their world upside down.
Quinton experienced depression and thoughts of suicide, and Mark struggled with taking care of his sick wife. But together they worked through the adversity and grew from it. They now want to use their experiences to inspire others to talk about theirs.
To that end, the duo have created the Uncomfortable Silence podcast, where they talk to athletes and people who have gone through similar circumstances in their lives. For more information on the podcast please visit their website.
