Michigan aerialist uses fight against Myasthenia Gravis to raise awareness

During the day, Shadow Duffy is a construction worker and a mechanic.
"Being able to work on and run heavy equipment... I was able to fix the axle shaft on a bobcat," said Shadow.
But, at night, the 37-year-old transforms into an aerialist and circus performer.
Since the age of 17, Shadow has been training in aerial acrobatics and has even won several awards for her art.
The mighty artist was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis, a rare auto-immune condition that weakens muscles.
"My face stopped working and my body followed shortly after.
Soon after, Shadow underwent a thymectomy, a major surgical procedure involving opening her chest," said Shadow.
