The story of Chae

Hi I’m Korchae, I am 30 years old and I have been diagnosed with a rare disease called relapsing polychondritis. I was diagnosed in 2016 with this cartilage attacking disease. Due to my condition my airway was attacked which caused me to have a tracheotomy. My advice to everyone is to never stress over things you have no control over. Live the life you love and love the life you live! My trach doesn’t define who I am..I define my trach!
