In this episode of 'Art Heals All Wounds,' I share a personal story about my daughter's diagnosis with myotonic dystrophy. How I wished to meet someone like today’s guest! Alexandra LeBoeuf, a young Canadian artist and myotonic dystrophy advocate, discusses how her artwork and personal experiences have helped create a support network and raise funds for research. Alex's story illustrates the impact of art in connecting individuals with shared experiences, particularly through her creation of a logo symbolizing strength for the myotonic dystrophy community. Together, Alex and I explore themes of resilience, creativity, and the importance of community support for those living with myotonic dystrophy or other rare diseases.
