Undoubtedly my children give me the will to carry on. I will do anything for them. In doing so, from the strength I gain in keeping them healthy, I build on that by continually helping others. It gives me great pleasure and satisfaction to see I can make a difference in other people's lives too.

My support system! I have been so very lucky to have support from my medical team, friends and family. They're always there to hold me accountable when I need it, and cheer me on when the going gets tough! I don't know where I'd be without them and I'm thankful to be going through this journey with them!

God.

My family

What I've already gone through gives me strength. Knowing if I can get through that, I can get through whatever comes my way.

Knowing that whatever is happening, will pass.

God.

My faith in God. My husband and care partner is my greatest cheerleader. He helps to keep me on positive footing on blue days. I thank God I have stayed well these 11 years on HHD. Just retired this spring. Now looking for a way to help others get through it.
