And when I'd come to Squawk Box in the morning, I'd kind of shut that part of my life off and just do the show, right?
For three hours, you don't think about that.
And it was also so emotional that I didn't think I could talk about it without crying, you know?
So it took me that long to get to that place.
And Matt and I had these long discussions trying to figure out what we should do.
And part of it is you want to protect your child.
I didn't really want to tell people about Kaylee and have, you know, you and I are in the public sphere all the time and you know people can be pretty mean.
I didn't want to put her in that public sphere.
But we got to the point where we thought, A, we have this platform with CNBC.
What can we do with it?
Because we've met so many other people along the way who also have family members with rare disease.
Maybe they have rare disease themselves.
We found out the numbers are so staggering that, you know,
30 million people in the United States have a rare genetic disease.
It's 30 to 36 million people in the EU.

If you can do something about it to help, you should.
What I realized when we were doing research on Cayley's disease is that every one of these 10,000 rare diseases has a population that's trying to figure out how to fight it, how to come up with a cure, and every one of them is trying to reinvent the wheel when there are, in fact, a lot of things
that we can do to help each other and kind of learn from each other along the way.
