These three inspiring individuals are living with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), a rare autoimmune disease.
Courtney is a violinist and music teacher who lost her vision but never lost her love for music.
Sumaira is an advocate and foundation founder. She turned her diagnosis into a mission to raise awareness and fund research.
Deshon is a young fighter and community leader. He faced rapid paralysis and vision loss yet continues to push forward with strength and faith.
March is NMOSD Awareness Month, a time to elevate patient voices and spotlight the urgent need for early diagnosis and treatment.
