However, life took an unexpected turn when Jeremy started losing his sight without any prior warning. Diagnosed with Leber’s Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON), a rare genetic disorder affecting only about 100 people in the U.S. annually, Jeremy’s life seemed to blur just as his vision did. But what initially appeared as a devastating blow transformed into a journey of incredible achievement and inspiration.
