She was diagnosed with Friedreich’s Ataxia (FA), a recessive genetic disease that gradually causes the loss of sensation in the arms and legs.

But when she started to struggle to walk while holding a drink, the freelance contractor from Ohio, US, realised something was wrong.

‘I always had to tightly grasp the railing when going downstairs for fear of falling and I had difficulty walking while holding a full glass of water or mug of coffee. ‘FA is progressive, so at first, I just had some issues with balance and being clumsy. Now, nearly eight years later, I depend on a walker and a wheelchair for longer distances.
