I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) 12 years ago on May 1, 2014. My onset of symptoms were unforgiving and I could barely walk straight at the time and had to drop out of marathon training. It was a super sad time... but I've come a long way since then.

Fast forward > > > I'm not running because I have to, I'm running because I can! And the cherry on top?! I've met an amazing online community of MS  runners and through their virtual friendships we've encouraged each other to keep moving forward and to do hard things! 

To celebrate how far I've come on my journey, I'm teaming up this year with a beloved MS national fundraiser — MS RUN THE US — a coast-to-coast relay — and participating in fundraising for "Region 2" of the virtual relay segment! Your donation helps support MS research and hopefully one day in finding a cure. 

Thank you so much for supporting me and the MS community!
