Imagine being diagnosed with an incurable rare disease before ever being born. This is the reality that Evie faced when she was diagnosed with hypophosphatasia, a condition impacting bone growth, breathing, and mobility, and often gives patients just 18 months to live.\\xa0 \\xa0

Luckily, her story doesn\\u2019t end there. At three months old, she enrolled in a clinical trial for a first-of-its-kind medication that her mom Lindsey claims \\u201cprobably saved her life\\u201d. Today, Evie is 13 years old and continues to defy the odds, giving hope to other young children suffering from a rare disease that they too can find the strength to overcome anything life throws at them. \\xa0
