Eight years into a fight for her life, talk radio host Glenn Beck is stepping in to help Jolene Van Alstine.
Beck, who hosts a three-hour radio show every weekday, told CBN News he learned about Van Alistine’s story live on the air from his co-host, Stu Burguiere, who asked if he’d heard about her case. Beck’s offer to fund her care, “just kind of came out of me.”
The Saskatchewan native has for nearly a decade battled a diagnosis with normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism, a rare — but treatable — parathyroid disease causing extreme bone pain, nausea, and vomiting. Now, all these years in, Van Alstine is trapped in a sinister catch-22.
