To Mia’s excitement!

She had the honor of being chosen as one of the individuals with EB to be painted in the series. When her portrait arrived she recognized herself instantly and was over the moon.

In the podcast Tim shares a powerful poem, he wrote

Being strong

When you want to break down

Keeping a smile

When it’s easier to frown.


Working through your troubles

Not just push them away

Living my best life,

Every day

Being thankful

For the time we have here

Bringing people together

To help you face the fear


Thrive

To survive

A cure

To endure.
