#RareDiseaseDay
Rare Disease Looks Like Me! Huntington Disease, Optic Atrophy and Manifest Latent Nystagmus are conditions that I deal with daily. A rare genetic neurodegenerative disorder, and two rare disorders that affect vision. I am stronger thanks to them! #Huntingtondisease #opticatrophy #mln

Going on my first hike since I lost my vision. This should be an interesting adventure. Luckily it says it is a kid friendly trail so I am assuming I will not be putting myself at great risk of bodily harm. Fingers crossed.
