Just a few hours after I was born, for no reason at all my skin started to blister and appear almost as though I had been burnt. My life changed forever from that point onwards. It took over a year before I was diagnosed as having one of the most severe forms of Epidermolysis Bullosa.
My parents were told I would not survive to see my 5th birthday.
Epidermolysis Bullosa is regards as one of the most painful and debilitating genetic conditions.
Not only did I find a way to survive. But I found a way to thrive under the extreme conditions and challenges that have been thrown my way quite literally every single day of my life from day 1.
From being told numerous times over that I would not survive to see my next birthday.
To losing the ability to walk due to the severe skin damage.
To simply having to find a way to fit into society when everybody said I could not, or should not, I did and have done the impossible countless times over now.
My life is one of extreme pain and hardship, I have never detoured off my dream to be a productive member of the community.
Whether it was simply just surviving to see the next day. Or fighting to fit into school, Navigating my way through main stream employment or way back in 2003 when I started this amazing journey to become a Motivational Speaker.
