Meet Grace Hoyt — a bright, witty high schooler with a passion for singing, art, and romantasy audiobooks. Grace also happens to live with a rare disease (FLVCR1) that has left her legally blind, unable to feel pain, and unsteady on her feet.
On her 13th birthday, Grace received a first-of-its-kind ASO medicine designed by n-Lorem to preserve her remaining vision. Today, she can still read snippets of her beloved “book children” — the physical versions of her favorite audiobooks — and, importantly, recognize and assess her sometimes life-threatening skin infections, a skill that could save her life.
