Young Keisha Petrus of Malaysia, 22 and a life-long NF2 sufferer is amazing!  Although she is severely afflicted and has suffered many losses, including her hearing and mobility (she's wheelchair-bound) Keisha is pursuing a psychology degree  (via online classes) and has an active social life, including a long-term boyfriend.  Her resilience, fortitude and determination to live as full a life as she can - and it is full - is inspirational and a reminder that although we cannot always change what life deals us, its how we handle it that counts.  Keisha Petrus handles adversity (in the form of NF2) with courage that is absolutely awesome and humbling when we consider what she deals with on a daily basis and what her future may hold.

Thanks for posting the link, Chris.
