Speaker & Advocate - Championing Arthrogryposis Awareness and Self-Belief
Disabled babe building bridges of understanding and support
The Dream Walker Project was born out of determination. I wanted to create a space where people with AMC, as well as anyone facing their own unique challenges, could find strength, community, encouragement, and a genuine sense of belonging. My goal has always been to build bridges of understanding and hope—not just for those living with Arthrogryposis, but for anyone who believes in the power of resilience, love, and community.
Through this project, we aim to amplify not only my own story but also the voices and journeys of others. By sharing these stories, we believe we can create ripples of awareness and acceptance that extend far beyond ourselves. The Dream Walker Project is a celebration of resilience, community, and the unbreakable spirit within each of us.
Thank you for joining us here. Whether you're an AMC warrior, a friend, or simply someone looking for a bit of inspiration, know that you’re welcome in this space.
Together, we’re walking a path of self-belief, connection, and empowerment—one mile at a time.
Misha Dream Walker
Hello and welcome! I’m Misha Walker, the heart behind the Dream Walker Project.
Long before I took on this journey, I was a little girl growing up in Peru with Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC)—a condition that shaped my world in unique and unexpected ways.
As a baby, my family was told all the things I wouldn’t be able to do. Walking, exploring the world, and living an independent life all seemed out of reach. But in those early years, my mom fought to provide me with the right treatments, and I learned one very important thing: I could live by other people’s expectations, or I could rewrite my own story. So, my journey became one of embracing the challenges, big and small, and proving that limitations are often only as strong as we let them be.
Today, I’m proud to live a life that’s as full of adventure as it is of purpose. I live independently and travel the world, alongside my husband Michael—the mind and hands that help bring the Dream Walker Project vision to life—meeting others in the Arthrogryposis community, sharing our stories, and proving that a happy life isn’t about the absence of challenges; it’s about choosing to rise above them. My journey has been anything but conventional, and that’s what makes it beautiful. Every twist and turn has taught me resilience and revealed a well of inner strength I didn’t know I had. Through countless obstacles, surgeries, and moments of uncertainty, I found my footing—sometimes literally, sometimes figuratively. And it’s this same journey that led me to discover a purpose much greater than myself: raising awareness for AMC, building a community of empowerment, and supporting others in finding their own voices and power.

Your support enables us to reach more families and communities, bringing resources and hope to those who need it most.
We, Misha and Mike, travel the world to raise awareness for Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC). Our mission is to visit families affected by this rare condition, offering support, encouragement, and connection, while building bridges across AMC communities worldwide.
Each year, we spend months on the road, reaching families in their own homes, where we have the privilege of forging strong, personal connections. By visiting them directly, we help eliminate the barriers of mobility that many families face, ensuring they can access the support and community they need without additional challenges.
Our mission is clear and heartfelt: “We want to reach as many families affected by Arthrogryposis as we can, bringing them support and hope for the future.”
“For those who live with rare conditions like AMC, and for those who love them, it’s easy to feel alone. We want them to know that there are people, groups, and foundations here to support them.​​
