From the humble beginnings of the original Beckers Story blog in 2009 to reaching an incredible 424,000 visitors, and now with the relaunched blog hitting 42,000 visits, this journey has been nothing short of amazing. My hope is that over these years, each visitor has gained insight into my life with Becker Muscular Dystrophy and the challenges faced by many with disabilities.
Around the same time I launched the My BS blog, I created a Facebook page that connected me with many amazing individuals living with Becker Muscular Dystrophy. This journey continued with the My BS Instagram account, where I found a supportive and inclusive disability community. Sharing my story has been a transformative experience, making me feel accepted and valued.
Fifteen years ago, I faced a life-changing work-related injury that left me uncertain about the future. Today, I look back with gratitude, having achieved more than I ever imagined. From those challenging beginnings to deciding to share my story to eventually self-publishing my own book entitled “Fighting Towards Victory” this journey has been nothing short of incredible. When it comes to my book there were moments I doubted I'd ever finish writing it, but here we are! Today, I've sold 126 copies, far surpassing my initial expectations.
Now the biggest benefit over the last fifteen years has been the incredible friendships and connections I've made. When challenges come my way, I now have amazing people to turn to for support. To everyone who has joined me on this journey, I am deeply grateful for your unwavering support. You may not know it, but your encouragement often helps me overcome every challenge that comes my way. Sharing my story has truly changed my life.
It's certainly been quite the journey, one that allows me to proudly celebrate 15 years of sharing My Beckers Story.
