Sheana

Age 35, Virginia, USA

We first noticed that something wasn’t quite right with Sheana when she began to walk. After many years of false diagnosis, in 2012, it was confirmed that Sheana had WWM. This marked the beginning of her journey. Sheana’s ability to walk has declined and she is now fully dependent on a wheelchair. Despite her handicap, Sheana has remained joyful and positive.

She loves to travel, to play on the computer, to read, to do basic math, and to socialize.
Sheana has defied the odds and turned 35 years old in September 2017. This picture, taken at the 2014 United Leukodystrophy Foundation (ULF) conference in Baltimore, captures her personality perfectly.
