It’s not fun, but I am a tough cookie.

DBA has affected our lives in ways we could have never imagined. It has introduced us to the most amazing people – from the dedicated doctors to the wonderful families who are also dealing with DBA. They all exemplify the power of human spirit and are family.

It is the tough things I have gone through with DBA that has made me the man I am.

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.

Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict. – William E. Channing

Our little hero

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.
