The “Community Spotlight” edition of the “Ask the Expert” podcast
series shares the stories of our community members. This episode
is part of a special series on grief and loss. Chris Lopardi
joined Krissy Dilger of SRNA to share about his family’s
experience with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM).





Chris Lopardi is the father of Mason Lopardi. Chris lost his son,
Mason at age seven to ADEM in May of 2020. Chris, his wife
Amanda, and their family have made it their passion to help
spread the word of what ADEM is and to help those affected by it.
Through their organization, The Miles for Mason Memorial
Foundation, they hope to help those affected by ADEM.
