Jennifer Gasner was diagnosed with Friedreich's Ataxia at 17, but she has never let that stand in the way of her dreams
Jennifer Gasner was 16 years old when she began noticing she would sway, stumble and stagger while walking around the campus of her Wisconsin high school. Then, she began having bladder control issues.
“I thought I’d be ‘less than’ if my body’s abilities deteriorated ... But I knew I had value,” she wrote in the book. “I was ashamed I had ever considered that I needed some remedy to be whole.” In 2014, Gasner was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and was forced to give up her job. But she has been active in the years since with the San Diego Memoir Writers Association and she enjoys yoga, traveling and movies. She now lives in San Diego with her boyfriend Gregory and their dog.
