At age 15, McKenna was diagnosed with dysautonomia, a disorder that disrupts the autonomic nervous system. For years she struggled with seizures, fatigue, digestion issues, and many other symptoms that interrupted her life. She eventually found Celltex and saw life-changing results following stem cell therapy.

Towards the end of her junior year of high school, Megan was diagnosed with a rare form of dysautonomia that causes fatigue, lightheadedness, cognitive impairment, and more. At a time in her life when she was supposed to be going off to college and gaining a new sense of independence, the unpredictable symptoms of her illness restricted her from even leaving the house without her mom. A few years later, Megan found Celltex and, with the advice of her family, decided to bank her stem cells.
