Moka Best. Super cool name to go with someone who has been the best in many athletic events. Moka accomplished many goals in sports and actually reached a level of professionalism in the world of triathlon and became an Olympic hopeful for the United States. But, a deadly disease fell upon Moka called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) where the blood doesn't circulate properly and connective tissues fail. Leaving muscles, tendons, and organs all at risk of failing to work or return to a natural shape and function, bringing on overall system failure. Moka has suffered major surgeries that repostured organs and systems, kidney autotransplant, Gallbladder removal, etc etc. Now, fighting for normal, days are filled with pain. Moka smiles through it all most of the time finding life is worth fighting for and her family is worth staying alive for. Listen in on Moka's story of survival and goals for her life.

Thank you, Moka, for your positive attitude and sharing your story with us all. You are a warrior with a smile! One tough woman!
