Who is Hannah?

Hannah was born with Gould Syndrome, a very rare condition that caused a stroke before she was born.  Due to the stroke and resulting brain damage Hannah lives with many limitations.  Hannah loves her family and spending time with them.  She enjoys getting outside, experiencing new places, loving music and smiling.
