After going blind in her right eye, she was told she would never get her vision back and that her MRI showed 10 lesions all over her brain. Because of where her lesions were located, she was also told that she would be in a wheelchair within 5 years and on medications her whole life. But she didn’t want to go on the traditional path. She decided to fight against the disease.
