My name is Lynda, I am a single parent to two very handsome and loving sons. Lee age 18 and Connor age 16 who  just happen to have health conditions that we don't let control our lives too much. Connor was diagnosed with Noonan Syndrome SOS1 gene mutation. His journey has been a difficult one and he has had 15 surgeries to date. Lee has also had a difficult journey. He was miss-diagnosed twice. Then at age 16 was given the diagnosis of Schizoaffective Disorder, he also was diagnosed at age 11 with Hypothyroidism. We spend a lot of time back and forward to Dr's, clinics and hospitals. I will not go into fine details at the moment, as there has been a lot to tell so I will keep it for another day.

I never knew that raising the boys on my own would be so difficult but rewarding. They have taught me to become a stronger person, an advocate, more understanding, patient, a fighter and to appreciate everything in life.
