Profile Picture

Life may be a fairy tale for some people, but not for Oksanya. She was diagnosed with Duchene's Muscular Dystrophy at a very young age, and has had it all her life. She cant run like her friends do, and she 't ever be able to join the track team at her high school. Or so she thinks. When the opportunity arises for Oksanya to undergo a treatment that will allow her to run, she leaps at the chance. But the side effects of the surgery arent your average run-of-the-mill type. These side effects wont just last for a month or two, either. 'll be there for the rest of her life.
