What was first thought of as a sinus infection turned out to be much worse than Zack Ezekiel Libamira could have imagined. But Libamira has vowed that he will ever succumb to the ravages of the virulent disease.

I am a 54-year-old father of three. In 2008, I began experiencing trouble breathing and talking. People thought I had sinuses and suggested I see an ear nose and throat (ENT) specialist. I was told that my nose was blocked and given medication that would clear it in a few days.
