I don't remember reading the bit about her grandmother training her before. It's been a few years but that detail about a heritable exceptional sense plus some intentional practice is super interesting.
Horrible disease. It's heartbreaking that MJFF had to fund this instead of a government entity

I didn't notice until after yesterday's collab that I got a message in #Tiltify that I unlocked the 2.5k lifetime achievement! I know there are big streamers who can raise that amount in a day, but I'm proud of hitting this milestone and can't wait to earn the next one! #Parkinson's #MJFF
