My daughter, Sienna, was born with a rare liver disease called Biliary Atresia. We've been managing it for four years now and it hasn't always been easy. Right now, she is doing great, but 85% of kids with this disease have a liver transplant by the time they are 18, so who knows what the future holds for her? We hope she continues to do well.

For me, the treatments for my MS have taken a more brutal toll on my life over the past decade than the disease itself. Making this story allowed me to express that pain and voice my fears about the future, things I've been too afraid to express to anyone else. Miraculously, the support I've found from people I've shared this story with has helped me to find renewed optimism for the future. My heart is full of thanks for the love and support I found at both the 3-day workshop I attended in Berekely (July 2010) and the FIT workshop I attended in Lyons (August 2010).

Hello! I made this video to share my experience dancing with rhematoid arthritis. I made a video a few months ago about why I dance, and many people had questions about my personal story and what it's like to dance with arthritis, so I made this follow-up video. I hope to share it with those who have arthritis, or any other challenge.
