The Checkup with Doctor Mike · She Doesn't Want To Cure Her Blindness | Molly Burke · 12 Oct 2025 podcast

In 2008, I went blind.

So 10 years after they said in 10 years, she'll be cured is the very year that I went blind.

But I spent my whole childhood as the face of this charity.

When I was five, they asked my parents, hey, we need a cute little kid to come to our big fundraiser and like do a little do a little moment on stage.

And it was meant to be a one off thing.

But I loved the stage.

I grew up wanting to be an actress and a performer.

So for me, I was a little kid who loved the limelight.

I loved having a microphone in my hand and getting to perform.

And that's what I viewed it as.

Eventually, it became this thing where every single campaign I'm facing, every single one.

I was literally the poster child.

I was on all the posters, all the pamphlets, the photo shoots.

I did all the PR press.

I was in on TV at like 11 years old and doing all of these fundraising events, standing up in front of donors, telling them why it was so important that I be cured.

And then I went blind.

and they didn't cure me.

And my whole childhood being told, if you do this, you will help cure yourself.

And then you go blind and you realize there's actually no cure in sight, no pun intended.

But all I've been told my whole life is you need to be cured.
