Against all odds, Armin refused to let his diagnosis define him. But a ski trip to Colorado brought an unexpected twist, changing everything he thought he knew about his condition. What happened next was an ongoing battle, and Armin’s incredible resilience kept him fighting every step of the way.
“In life, not everything is perfect, and sometimes we have obstacles that come our way…But being that rebellion that I was at 16, I didn’t want to listen to healthcare providers. But as you physically see how your body is on the inside, when I saw my heart compared to a normal 17-year-old, I knew at that point that this is really serious.” – Armin.
