I am a petite 60 year old woman with a lot of energy and passion. When, in 1998 my husband and four children were diagnosed with a rare form of muscular dystrophy (DM), I found what motivated me. I wanted to channel my energy and passion into understanding this disease and its effects on my family. I am also a part-time specialist for Salt Lake County Extension answering nutrition and food safety questions for the county public. My hobbies include selling Avon, practicing yoga, watching select TV series with my husband, going to plays, making jewelry, cooking foods with good taste and nutrition, yard work, etc.
