Brandon: I was born with spinal muscular atrophy, which is a degenerative neuromuscular disease. When I was 12 years old, I was put on a ventilator.
Three years ago, I came into the care of Summa Health's Complex Care Clinic. Every six months, I see the whole team. Neurology, pulmonology, nutrition, pretty much everybody that's a part of my care. It's just so hard to put into words how amazing they've been in helping me achieve things that have only been in my dreams.
I am currently taking classes at college and I have published a poetry book. I know a lot of people say that I inspire them. I don't know quite about inspire, but I do know that I'm here for a reason.
