Overcoming Adversity
Emma Salisbury: Attending Sullivan Heights Secondary, Emma is 18. She was to study ballet at the highest level, but a lupus diagnosis and the effects of a subsequent stroke changed Emma’s life forever. She plans to earn a degree in social work so she can help others in situations similar to hers and give back to the community. Emma works to bring awareness to the empowerment of women and for those who are disabled. She volunteers with Panorama School of Dance, BC Lupus Society, Youth Advisory Committee at BC Children’s Hospital and is a campaign ambassador for I Am Resilience.
Emma chose the BC Lupus Society as her designated charity.
