Now, with a Mercy Ships history that spans 40 years, Diane says there has always been a strong sense of purpose and never a dull moment! Why stick around for 40 years? From day one, Diane recalls, “The commitment, the vision, the uniqueness and the opportunity just all struck me — that it was something I was born for.” Currently serving as the International Media Relations Manager, Diane helps share the stories of crew and patients on board — stories that build pathways for people to be inspired and get involved. In this episode, Diane shares about the early days of Mercy Ships and her involvement. She tells about working with media teams on board, patient stories that have stuck with her, and the rewards that have come from telling the stories of lives that have been transformed.
