Julia Magdei is a walking miracle. On September 18, 2021, Julia suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm at a friend’s party. During surgery, doctors discovered a life-threatening and inoperable AVM (arteriovenous malformation). Despite the setbacks, her determination shone through as she regained her abilities to speak, walk, read, write and perform everyday tasks. While she has a long road ahead in her recovery, Julia’s journey showcases her unwavering spirit, reminding everyone that no obstacle is insurmountable.
“I could have been dead but I’m here, so I have a lot of gratitude every day for that.”
