Блогер, письменниця і "оратор-мотиватор" американка Ліззі Веласкес - носій рідкісної хвороби, синдрому Видемана - Раутенштрауха. При зрості 152 сантиметри вага тіла Ліззі ніколи не перевищував 29 кілограмів. Крім того, вона сліпа на одне око.
У 2013 році Ліззі була названа "найпотворнішого жінкою в світі". У дитинстві над нею знущалися однолітки, а сьогодні вона мотивує інших і бере участь в дослідженнях Південно-західного медичного центру Техаського університету.

The first thing @WWETheBigShow told me was "Big things come in tiny packages!" I had so much fun sharing the stage with him today and talking about anti-bullying.

During my meet & greet this sweet girl came up to me and said she wants to start her own YouTube channel and wanted to one day record a video with me. I asked her mom if we could use her phone and we recorded her first video together! Moments like these are what makes my job so rewarding.

I've spent the last two days with people who mean the absolute world to me. I can not seem to wipe the smile off my face and it's all because of the people who have been brought into my life that have helped me become the bravest I've ever been. Here we go !! @thelizzieproject
