Hi there Candace . It is my pleasure to say hello and welcome you to the Muscular Dystrophy forum. My name is Leah Leilani. I am one the moderators here on the forum alongside Dani.

Let me tell you a little bit about myself: I 22 years old and work Muscular Dystrophy News as a columnist. I was diagnosed at age nine with a particularly rare form of Muscular Dystrophy called Mitochondrial Myopathy. It hinders my cells unable to produce the correct amount of energy my body needs. Because of this I use a power wheelchair, take naps everyday and am home schooled. Although Muscular Dystrophy makes life challenging at times, I never let it stop me from living a full and happy life
