I fight for my extraordinary husband and our 8-month-old daughter.

I was diagnosed just two short months after marrying the love of my life. Our whole marriage has been fighting this disease. No matter what life has thrown at us, he has never complained. Life threw us an extremely tough challenge when I very unexpectedly became pregnant. He is now the primary caregiver to me and our beautiful miracle baby. Through it all, he continues to make me laugh. I fight for my extraordinary husband and our 8-month-old daughter.
