By Colleen McMahon, Ambassador of Team Addison USA
Living with Addison's disease means I have to prepare more, plan better, and carry more responsibility than most. But it has never taken away my passion for adventure.
My condition doesn't define my limits—it reminds me that courage is choosing to move forward, even when the path demands more.
