Help Lane Get Treatment

My name is Lane Glaze and I suffer from a progressive neurological disorder called friedreich’s ataxia. I was diagnosed when I was 7 years old, and since then things have progressively gone downhill. When I was younger, I was told that I wouldn't live to be 18...I'm 22 now. I used to be very self conscious about my illness, but I have come to terms with the fact that I am only human and everyone has flaws. Always keeping in mind "it could be worse". no matter how bad things get, there is always someone out there who has it worse off than you.
I was fortunate enough to be able to walk until I was 16. My second day of sophomore year of high school was the day I had to start using a wheelchair. At first I hated it, but at the same time I was just glad I had a new freedom to be able to move around the hallways without tripping or stumbling into people. Now I'm used to the wheelchair, but other problems are surfacing. My balance and coordination are slowly getting worse and my voice is starting to slur and crack. Normal everyday tasks are becoming difficult. Things such as taking a shower or even putting on shoes. On top of that, I have mild neuropathic pain throughout my body almost daily. These challenges are often overwhelming, but I try to focus on the positives and I am thankful for the many blessings I still have.
There is not yet a cure , but recent advances in neuroscience have uncovered a treatment that could not only resolve many health issues but also slows the progression of my illness. I'm finally seeing a small glimmer of hope, which hasn't been there for a long time.
The only problem is that the treatment costs $12,000 and is halfway around the world in China. I am trying so hard to get the word out because I know there are good hearted people out there willing to help someone in need. I actually went to Nederland High School with Two other kids with FA. If this treatment goes well for me could potentially help others improve their lives as well. I've also been doing what I can to save some of my own money to push towards my goal but there is no way I could afford it on my own. This treatment would be life changing for not only me, but also other people dealing with this. Take a minute to read and share my story. Donate if you can. Any efforts to help are greatly appreciated. You would be saving a life.
Much Love,
Lane.
