Photography has been a passion of mine, but the past few years Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency has robbed me of my breath, making it difficult, if not impossible, to walk the trails of my beloved Cuyahoga Valley National Park. All that changed in July. I was given a new lease on life in the form of portable oxygen. This photo represents my new found freedom to roam wherever the wind takes me and enjoying the breathtaking views without taking my breath away.
