About this episode

Anne Fundner shares her personal tragedy and advocacy against the fentanyl crisis following her son's death.

Anne Fundner is a California mother of four whose life was shattered when her 15-year-old son Weston died after taking what he thought was a harmless pill that was actually illicit fentanyl. A deeply involved parent and former room mom and school ambassador, she now channels her grief into powerful advocacy, sharing Weston’s story to put a human face on the fentanyl crisis and warn families that “one pill can kill.” Having testified before Congress on the border-enabled flood of cartel-driven fentanyl into American communities, she challenges leaders and parents alike to confront this threat with urgency, education, and decisive action to protect children.
