Brady's Story: 

At the age of 4, my journey with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) began. Though I don't recall the specifics of my diagnosis, my parents recount how I transitioned from a lively toddler to becoming withdrawn and struggling with severe leg pain. An orthopedic examination revealed a lesion in my femur, swiftly leading to surgery and a confirmed diagnosis of LCH.

Throughout my life, I've encountered several other lesions in my bones, prompting ongoing collaboration with my medical team to navigate the most effective treatment path.

Now 17, I've come to appreciate the rarity of this condition, igniting a passion within me to look deeper and offer support to others. This interest aligns with my aspirations for a career in healthcare, prompting my involvement in the Histio Community as a Youth Ambassador.  

I hope that by sharing my story and raising awareness for the Histio Community, I can offer others hope and encouragement, provide valuable education, and create opportunities for support for this rare but strong community.
