Lauren Pires has been selected to be the 2023 recipient of the Invisible Disabilities Association’s But You LOOK Good Inspiration Award. She has been chosen based upon her passion, vulnerability and willingness to publicly share her inspiring story of living daily with an invisible disability from birth called Central Core Disease (CCD). CCD is a rare neuromuscular disorder where a person’s muscles struggle to convert energy into strength, so they have to work harder at things most people take for granted. Lauren’s strength is about 33% of the average person.
