A woman, who doctors said wouldn’t live past her first birthday, has defied the odds by not only living well past her diagnosis but by becoming a fitness blogger. Living with a feeding tube and unable to close her mouth or eyes, Hannah Setzer may not look like a typical fitness influencer - but that’s exactly why she’s doing it. The 28-year-old was born with a rare genetic condition; cystic hygroma, which causes fluid-filled cysts to grow on a new-born baby’s head and neck area. A block in Hannah’s lymphatic system caused fluid-filled cysts to form in her neck. When she was still a baby, doctors removed her cysts, accidentally removing some facial nerves at the same time; as a result, she still cannot smile or close her mouth and eyes. Hannah is used to getting stares from strangers when she goes out in public but together with her husband Brandon, she is adamant they won’t stop her from doing anything. Follow her story here:
