Joanne Stroud is a healthcare consultant and a CWD Mom. Her son Ben was diagnosed in 1998 at the age of ten and CWD quickly became their lifeline.

Joanne is a self professed soccer mom; her husband Jim coached the CWD IDYA soccer team that took their 'game' to Italy in 2004. They also have two other sons, Kyle (20), a student at Savannah College of Art & Design and James (15), a high school sophomore and avid soccer player.
