I am Karen Pless

I was diagnosed three years ago this month. Before this monster took hold of my life, I was an independent mom, Mimi, daughter, sister and girlfriend who was working and living life. Never sick until this. My family means everything to me. This disease has not only ravaged my body, but it’s been worse on my family and loved ones. They are my reason for fighting. I want to be around for my children, my grandbabies and everyone else. I fight to see them finish growing up, getting married and having babies. I WANT TO LIVE!
