Gabriel Vergara was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy at eleven. Initially an athletic child, he struggled as his muscles deteriorated, ultimately leading him to adapt to life in a wheelchair.
"You're going to experience lots of changes," his doctor told him regarding his diagnosis, which would prevent him from walking or dressing independently. This stark reality became part of his journey.
Despite his diagnosis, Vergara maintains a hopeful outlook, stating, "I'll likely be even more debilitated in 10 years, but... you have to have the mindset that you'll win."
He emphasizes the power of mindset, saying, "Everything starts in the mind," showcasing his philosophical approach to navigating life with muscular dystrophy.
