30 Days of PH: Nothing Will Stop Me From Pursuing My Dreams
In this “30 Days of PH” story, Aya Hashiguchi Clark writes about her love of life in the theater and the challenges PH has forced her to face while pursuing her dream.
Has PH interfered with your career or a hobby that you love? Have you, like Aya, managed to continue the activity, or did you have to give it up and find something more manageable to do with your PH symptoms?
Pulmonary Hypertension News’ 30 Days of PH campaign is publishing one story per day from someone who has been affected by the disease for PH Awareness Month in November. Read the full series for more stories like this, and follow us on Facebook and Instagram, using the hashtag #30DaysofPH.

Hi Aya, I love your perseverance as you don’t allow PH to keep you from the theater. I know we have many challenges, but we can always make adjustments to continue our hobbies.
For me, I missed my nursing job and thought that I would never work again. But I am grateful that my PH led me here, and now as a moderator here, a columnist, and a PH advocate, I have found that I can continue to help others. This may not be nursing, but it is a way for me to help improve the quality of life of others within the PH community.
My upcoming column shares a bit about this important topic. Thank you for sharing your inspirational story, Aya.

What I found so inspirational about Aya’s story is that not only has she managed to continue acting, but she has also used theater to spread PH Awareness. That is fantastic!

What a great example you have shown.

That is another awesome part of Aya’s story, @colleensteele. Thanks for pointing that important part of her story out, too.
I find each of these stories inspiring in a variety of ways.
What about everyone else? Are y’all keeping up and reading our 30 Days of PH stories? What things have you found that you can relate to or find hope in?
