Aly was born on April 2nd 1997 in Changsha, China, and arrived in the United States at nine months old. Now 15 years old, Aly was diagnosed with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy at age three at A.I. DuPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Delaware.

Aly lives at home in Lewes, Delaware with her parents Cecily Fisher and Loretta Higgins, her sister Emily, and her two dogs, Teddy and Porter.

As a high school sophomore, Aly likes to read, draw, and text! She is an active local MDA Ambassador for Safeway, Jiffy Lube, and Lowes and has raised thousands of dollars for her team, Aly’s Cats, in the annual MDA Muscle Walk. We are positive Aly will be a great Ambassador for the Tall Cedars of Lebanon.
