Rare Disease Day 2021

Fenna Rare Disease Day

My teachers were always worried back then because I had a lot of catching up to do because of the surgeries. I always wanted to go higher, faster, further. One day, I finally managed to climb up the long pole in kindergarten. My teachers were totally amazed! ...Usually only preschoolers can do that!
