In an exclusive interview with Mediaplanet, her mother, Julie Haise, opens up about Audrey’s condition and lifestyle: “We know there may not be a cure but she can live a normal life,” says Haise. Netherly has over 1.4 million followers on Facebook and over 250,000 on YouTube, where she uses her social media popularity to raise awareness of DBA.
