Quinn Bradlee
GET UPDATES FROM Quinn Bradlee
Quinn Bradlee was diagnosed with Velo-Cardio Facial Syndrome when he was 14. One day, while surfing around Facebook, he noticed that none of his friends had selected him as a “Top Friend.” He decided it was time to create a welcoming, supportive destination for people living with learning disabilities. Now 26, he is devoting his life to sharing his experience and helping others with LD by writing a regular blog answering users’ questions on his new website, FriendsOfQuinn.com. Quinn is the son of famed Washington DC journalists Ben Bradlee and Sally Quinn.
