Julia was born a healthy six pounds nine ounces. She never had any health issues until that dreadful day on July 21, 2006.

I still had some doubts until the spinal tap showed results that solidified the diagnosis in my mind. I now felt that life was more fragile than it was just ten minutes before. I felt "not perfect"

I looked around the room filled with nearly 1,000 people, and I thought to myself, “We have this disease that so many are working on to find a cure!”
