When she was 17 years old, San Diego author Jennifer Gasner was diagnosed with Friedreich’s Ataxia or FA, a rare progressive neuromuscular disease. The impact of FA varies from person to person, but generally causes difficulty walking, a loss of coordination and impaired speech. Initially, Jennifer was shocked and in denial about her diagnosis and, at times, used alcohol as a way to cope, but ultimately decided to live her life with joy. She chronicles her journey in her book, My Unexpected Life: Finding Balance Beyond My Diagnosis. On this episode of SoCal Voices, Jennifer shares how she’s living her life with determination, humor and a positive attitude.
