Please come together and help find a cure for DBA.
The DBAF has been a life saver for us! They’ve supplied us with the knowledge and the resources to fight off anything DBA might throw at us.
It has been seven years since DBA became part of our vocabulary. Our son’s diagnosis brought confusion, apprehension and despair. The discovery of DBAF is a stroke of serendipity. While even more tears were shed, these are now mingled with knowledge, understanding and, more significantly, hope. It will be through research that our son will be able to secure a brighter future.
Never give up on something that you can’t go a day without thinking about.
Having DBA has taught me to not give up the fight and to do the best that I can. The DBAF has become more than just a source of friends and knowledge, but a family of support through the bad and the good.
Sometimes I feel like the odd one out, restricted by DBA. I just have to keep reminding myself that God wouldn’t bless me with this challenge if He didn’t think I could handle it. I don’t let DBA define me, I try to defy DBA.
DBA has taught us many things – Never give up – Be grateful for the strength to fight the fight and always cherish the arms we rest upon for support.
Nobody is guaranteed tomorrow. Just because you have a warning doesn’t make you different than anyone else. It doesn’t make a difference in how you live each day.
