Dünyanın LGMD hakkında ne bilmesini istersiniz?
I want the world to understand that LGMD is often invisible at first, but it deeply impacts strength, mobility, and energy. People with LGMD are still capable, driven, and full of life. They just navigate the world differently and deserve accessibility, respect, and understanding.
LGMD ile yaşamanın en büyük zorluklarının neler olduğunu düşünüyorsunuz?
The greatest challenges are the gradual loss of strength and independence, and adapting to changes in mobility over time. Everyday tasks that used to be simple now require planning, support, or adaptive equipment. There’s also the emotional side of learning to adjust while still trying to live fully and not let the condition define everything.
LGMD hastalığınız yarın "tedavi edilebilseydi", yapmak isteyeceğiniz ilk şey ne olurdu?
I would want to experience freedom of movement again. Walk, travel more easily, and do everyday things without needing to think about limitations or fatigue. I would pick my son up and carry him. Be a “normal” dad.
