Before she became an ISR mom and then a certified instructor, Liz was an elementary school teacher with a strong background as well as passion for business and philanthropy. After her family’s ISR self-rescue experience, Liz saw a window of opportunity to continue working with kids, while owning my own business and giving back to the community. Having personally experienced what it is like to go-it-alone as both an ISR swim mom and as an ISR instructor, it quickly became clear that a team approach was needed if she were to effectively increase self-rescue access in a city as large as Chicago. This inspired her to create CAST. The mission at CAST is to increase access to self-rescue lessons and to empower families and communities to create strong water safety strategies. What Liz learned in her initial ISR experience was that each day in this country, 3 families lose a child to drowning. She also learned that physical activity does absolute wonders for my girls, and that working as a team towards a big commitment taught her whole family the value of working together and believing in each other. Listen to this uplifting Truman Charities episode with Liz Huber about CAST!Here is what to expect on this week’s show:-      The moment Liz solidified her decision to create CAST when a mom named Katie asked her a question while she was studying to be an ISR instructor “How did you get to learn about these lessons before losing a child, while I am only here because my daughter is gone?"-       The misconceptions about puddle jumpers-       The highest drowning rates are among children 1-4 years old Connect with Liz:Guest Links: Website- https://castwatersafety.org/liz-huberLinkedIn- https://www.linkedin.com/in/liz-huber-a2145910Instagram-  @castinghope_    Connect with Jamie at Truman Charities:FacebookInstagramLinkedInWebsiteYouTubeEmail: [email protected] episode was post produced by Podcast Boutique https://podcastboutique.com/
