“If you don’t have your health, you don’t have anything…” I have heard people say this my whole life, but it has never had the same impact as it did on Friday afternoon.

That is when I had the privilege of interviewing Kristie Tunick, a 32 year old woman who suffers from an extremely rare, serious and disabling neuromuscular disease called Stiff-Person Syndrome (SPS), as well as Myasthenia Gravis and Gastroparesis.

This week I will be focusing on Kristie’s story. Today I will share some details of her painful path to where she is today. The articles that follow will focus on how people can prepare themselves financially for life’s unexpected events. MORE
