In a world where strength is often measured in power and speed, our greatest heroes show resilience in ways most cannot see. They fight battles not on grand stages, but in everyday moments—against challenges that most will never face.
Every child affected by the LMBRD2 gene mutation is a true hero. Their daily lives are a battle, an adventure filled with challenges where every small progress is a victory, and every smile is a beacon of light.
They face the invisible, the unknown, with a strength beyond imagination. Behind their eyes lies an unbreakable determination, a resilience that commands admiration. They teach us to see the world differently, to cherish every moment, and to redefine what true courage really means.
Emma was born on August 22, 2014, in the 42nd week of pregnancy, weighing 2825 grams and measuring 49 cm. Although she was born small, she initially developed normally. She started walking at the expected age but did not begin speaking until she was 4 years old.
Today, at 10 years old, Emma is quite tall for her age at 147 cm. She still struggles with fine motor skills, but her language abilities are relatively good, even though her pronunciation can sometimes be unclear and she has difficulty learning new words.
Her main challenge lies in cognitive development—she is significantly delayed and appears much younger than her peers. She can swim and has earned her silver sports badge. Emma is a very open-minded and happy child, with no awareness of any impairments. She loves painting, enjoys riding her bike, spends a lot of time playing in nature, has a fantastic and vivid imagination, and loves reading books.
Our heroes don’t wear capes, but they have wings—the wings of love, hope, and perseverance. Through them, we learn an essential truth: the greatest battles are not fought with weapons but with the heart.
We are proud to stand by them, to share their stories, and to make their voices heard. Because every child here is a symbol of strength, a spark of hope, a hero in their own right.
