The story of Finnley

Meet Finnley. At 5 years old he was diagnosed with two gene mutations c.524C>A, p. Pro175His, and FOXN1 with no name to the illness that caused his little body to be in debilitating pain. Stomach pain, random vomiting, head pain, joint pain and swelling, random inflammation in whatever organ it wanted to target that week, high fevers among other symptoms leaving multiple doctors scratching their head at what could be the villain. Through all the pokes, “flares”, multiple medication trials, consistent pain, and frustration Finnley has always maintained a positive outlook on life. He is quick to remind people “be kind to everyone, you never know what people may be going through. Although Finnley’s disease is invisible, his resilience, kindness, and positive outlook aren’t. We love you Finnley.
