LEAH Messer has shared a heartwarming snap of her daughter at a school concert as she continues to fight muscular dystrophy.
The Teen Mom star took to Instagram on Tuesday with a new photo of her daughter Ali, 13, performing at her Christmas concert.
"AA Band & Chorus Christmas Performance '23," she wrote in the caption.
Leah, 31, uploaded a photo that showed Ali standing on stage while holding onto her clarinet.
Music stands, chairs, and other performers in holiday attire were seen around her as she stopped for the quick snap.
Ali, who has been fighting muscular dystrophy since birth, smiled for the camera while wearing a red Christmas sweater with the cartoon Grinch plastered on it, reading: "Merry Grinchmas."

ALI'S BATTLE
Leah first revealed her daughter's scary diagnosis in 2014 and has been documenting her journey since.
Ali was diagnosed with Titin Myotonic muscular dystrophy while still appearing on 16 & Pregnant.
Titin Myotinic MD is a rare form of progressive weakness disease that had been seen in less than 20 cases around the world at the time of her diagnosis.
Ali has never let her muscular dystrophy keep her down, participating in all kinds of activities - including horseback riding.
While she can still walk, she does occasionally rely on a wheelchair to support her or help her conserve energy.
The Teen Mom 2 star generally remains positive about her daughter's diagnosis, however, she also occasionally gets emotional talking about it.
One month before she turned 13 last year, Ali made a visit to the hospital where she had been working with a doctor to treat her MD and monitor its progression.
FUTURE PLANS
Back in February, the Teen Mom star filmed several videos with her daughters on Instagram asking them about their plans for the future.
In one clip, Ali told her mom: "I'm going to have a horse barn and be an equestrian and then I have like three dog breeds – two or three – a St. Bernard, a Cane Corso, or an English Mastiff and then two cats."
Leah chimed in, adding: "We should probably add writer to that bio because we have something in the works."
