您在几岁时被确诊?

I was diagnosed at the age of 28.

您认为 LGMD 患者在生活中面临的最大挑战是什么？?

Chronic pain is my greatest challenge with LGMD.

您最大的成就是什么？

I am still working on my greatest accomplishment but for now I have three beautiful children that I am focusing on.

LGMD 是如何影响您成为今天的自己的？

I have always had a great work ethic, always able to accomplish what I put my mind to.  Because of my disability, things are hard to get done but I never give up.  I have been able to stay positive and encouraging to others.

您希望世界了解 LGMD 的哪些方面？?

I want the world to know that this disease is life changing and it can be extremely hard at times.  Unfortunately, there isn’t a lot of support for LGMD.  Hopefully raising awareness can lead to better support for people living with this disease.

如果您的 LGMD 明天就能 "治愈"，您首先想做的是什么？?

If I could be cured tomorrow, I would go to a trampoline park with my kids!  It is the small things in life that I cherish now.
