My name is Morgan Burroughs. I am a 23 year old young woman who lives in the United States, located in North Carolina. My story is a bit different than the average young woman. I was born with a disorder that effects my muscles and weakens them over time. This invisible monster that I live with day in and day out is definitely challenging and it is pretty unfair, but that does not mean I let it hold me back from living my life to the fullest, the best way I can. Pompe Disease controls a lot in our lives and it takes our functioning bodies from us. It is never satisfied. The one thing it will never take is who we are and what we are. You can either let this thing have control over what you give to this world or you can see it as a gift, and I like to see it as a gift. A gift of bravery. A gift of courage. A gift of resilience. A gift to see the world in a bigger perspective. A gift to give you the power to never take no for an answer... to be unstoppable.
