After finding a name to the pain I was feeling, I went through the RND Program at CHOP in October of 2011. While I was there, I learned that you can overcome any challenge that you face because you are always stronger then you think you are. Even though this journey may not be over yet, I now know how to experince life to the fullest even if it is hard. With help from my family and friends, I hope to be able to raise more awareness for RND/AMPS. I also hope to be able to give back to the program and the team who helped me througout my time at CHOP.
