Markéta

My name is Marketa, I'm 22 years old and I was diagnosed with Tay-Sachs disease three years ago. The disease was discovered thanks to another member of our family, who began to show the first symptoms of this rare genetic disorder. Gradually, I also began to notice difficulties – for example, I have a problem getting up from a squat or climbing higher stairs without support. Sometimes there are also minor difficulties in normal communication. So far, the disease has not limited me significantly. I like to travel and cook.
