Sandy Jones shares her battle with a rare disease that only strikes one in three million people. Transverse Myelitis is an inflammation of part of the spinal cord. This Autoimmune Disease takes no prisoners regardless of age, sex, or nationality. 

Sandy woke up one morning as usual, but within 24 hours, she was paralyzed from the waist down. "Your life as you know it will be no more!" 

It took the removal of Sandy's plasma from her body for seven days at Vanderbilt Hospital to stop her antibodies from attacking her spinal cord. Removing her plasma prevented the Transverse Myelitis from attacking further, but her bladder and colon were paralyzed.

Sandy describes herself as a strong-willed individual who enjoyed riding her motorcycle before being struck with the disease. She now lives by herself following the death of her husband to Covid-19 and is assisted with her mobility with the help of her Great Danes. 

Sandy says that God has been at work in her life, and she wants to share her story to help others.
