Hello! My name is Libby Schwers and I am 23 years old. I live in Des Moines, Iowa and work as a graphic designer at a smaller agency.

I was diagnosed with FA when I was 22, but I've been experiencing symptoms of FA for about five years now. The diagnosis was a hard pill to swallow, but it has helped me to become the strong, courageous woman I am today.

Name: Josué Lira

Age: 22

Where do you call home? I live in a rural area around the city of Sao Caetano, in the State of Pernambuco, Brazil.

Education/Career: I finished high school.

What’s a typical day for you? I spend my days taking care of the cattle on my parent’s farm. I start my day having breakfast and watch my mother milk the goats. After the milk is collected, I help her to take the herd back to the pasture and sometimes my nephew helps us. The next round is to feed the chickens and collect their eggs. In the afternoons I walk the farm with my dog and do some weeding. This is an everyday job and essential to keep the pasture productive.

My name is Jack Dewitt. I am 21 years old, and I was diagnosed with Friedreich’s Ataxia at age 10.

I currently live in Michigan and am going to college at the moment, majoring in both communications and theater. I am also a firearms enthusiast and 2nd Amendment advocate. This led to me founding and building my very own business called Cards Custom Arms. My business manufactures a variety of handgun holsters and magazine pouches. We also provide custom cherokee jobs for anything from pistols to rifles to motorcycles. One of my passions is hunting in which I have been lucky enough to take both elk and deer.
