My Story…
10 years ago I was diagnosed with generalized dystonia. I have to use mobility devices full time to get around and use a wheelchair the majority of the time. In the last 10 years I have had to deal with the progressive nature of my dystonia, and with the things I am no longer able to do. But I have also learned that I am so much stronger than I ever knew. I am now a para swimmer with Team Canada, a full time student, small business owner and a dystonia thriver!
