Brenda is the mother of 4 children. Her third son, Thomas, was infected with RSV at the age of 3 weeks. Her experiences with RSV, when admitted to the pediatric intensive care and at home, encouraged her to join the RSV Patient Network as a member of the Patient Advisory Board of the ReSViNET Foundation. She believes that every (future) parent should know about RSV. In addition, professionals such as general practitioners and midwives should also be aware of RSV.
