I had evidence of disease as early as 2013.
But I wasn’t officially diagnosed with MS until February 2022.

In between that time, I kept living my life.
I kept showing up.

After my diagnosis, I made the decision to keep moving forward—and I trained for and ran my first marathon through relapses, until we finally found the right DMT.

That experience changed me.

Because I learned that strength isn’t about waiting for things to get easier.
It’s about deciding to move forward even when they don’t.

That’s what Running Through the Storm means to me.

It’s choosing to keep going when things feel uncertain.
It’s learning how to trust yourself again.
It’s building something meaningful in the middle of something hard.

And that’s why I’m here.

I’m taking on Region 2 of Run the US for MS—965 miles from Salt Lake City to Denver to Lincoln, Nebraska over 5.5 weeks—and I’m not doing it alone.

I’m doing it with a team of runners, each of us showing up for something bigger than ourselves.

Because MS looks different for everyone.
But what connects us is the need for awareness, support, and continued progress.

This run isn’t just about miles.

It’s about turning something personal into something that helps others.
It’s about showing what’s possible, even in the middle of the storm.
It’s about being part of a community that refuses to stop.
