living the impossible
No matter what may come my way, I will not be defeated!
This craziness all started last year (Feb 2017) when I was told that I had inherited a gene that would most likely leave me permanently physically disabled later in life. Since then I have started a blog and organised a fundraiser called the Ten Summits Challenge, raising over $26,000 for research for a cure for MJD.
It's not just about creating awareness for MJD for me, it's about empowering people who have been misjudged and mislabelled, and supporting those who care for other people. It's about helping people understand that a disability doesn't define who someone is, it doesn't make them any less of a person. |
