“I am 27 years old and I live in Maine.  I was born with Prader-Willi Syndrome. My urge to seek food is like a roaring lion and my hunger is like a raging bull.  However, I am in a good place with some great supports in place, which makes me feel very safe.  My name is not Willy and I am still hungry for a cure!”
