Description	Photographer's caption reads, "Megan is fixated on Godzilla. "It's her main interest in life" reported her mother. "She's the biggest Godzilla fan there is." The family drove from Fresno so Megan could submerse herself the Godzilla Film Festival at the Egyptian Theatre. With luck, she also hoped to find a particular new Mothra figurine for her collection. Megan was born with a rare, recessive, genetically transmitted muscular paralytic disease. It has turned her body into an almost unmanageable miscreation, but "in her mind, she's perfectly sharp" said her mother. "People look at her and say, 'Whats wrong?" 'But she says, 'What?""
