Survivor
During my pregnancy I began to experience signs of physical weakness, but after my daughter's birth things began to progress.
I underwent several tests, met with multiple specialists, and shortly after my daughter's first birthday I received my ALS diagnosis.
As I researched the disease, it became clear that my path ahead would not be easy. I prepared for the expected changes that would come to my body and became determined to rise above any challenges.
