Meet Maria! She was diagnosed with Wilms' Tumor, a rare childhood kidney cancer, when she was just over a year old. For the first 15 years of her life, hospitals felt like a second home. In her early twenties, after years of testing, she was diagnosed with Mosaic Variegated Aneuploidy syndrome 3 (MVA 3)- an autosomal recessive disorder that can cause Wilms' Tumor. During Rare Disease Month, Maria shares her story as a way to reclaim her own voice while encouraging others to find theirs.
