Peter was diagnosed with spasmodic dysphonia a rare vocal disorder that makes it difficult to speak.
His condition progressively got worse, and you could hear it in his radio reports.
"This is a neurological condition. So the signal from the brain to the muscle that controls the vocal cords is off and so sometimes trying to make certain sounds is just difficult to do."Now, he is devoting his attention to helping the nonprofit organization Dysphonia International to make the public aware.
The nonprofit says nearly one in 10 Americans have a vocal disorder. Peter's rare condition affects about 70 thousand people."It used to be thought that it affected people later in life."Spasmodic dysphonia works in two different ways. It can either compress the vocal cords or pull them apart making it difficult to talk.As he says, he might have trouble speaking, but he hasn't lost his voice.
