In episode 32 of Beyond Labels & Limitations, John Graybill talks with Jill Millington about her life with Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy. Jill shares how at age 23 she first noticed something wasn't right when she couldn't step up onto the curb. She was diagnosed with LGMD in 2008 and then in 2018 Jill was officially diagnosed with LGMD2A or Calpainophty. Since then, Jill has gotten involved in advocating, managing a Facebook page, shooting "How To" videos and posting them on YouTube and also organizing fundraisers. She wants people to be aware of a "State Proclamation" in which on September 30th, every year, that day will be known as "LGMD Awareness Day". You can start a state or city proclamation by going to LGMD-info.org and following the steps to do so there.
