Help Sarah raise money

For participating in Miles for Migraine Race - Philadelphia, 2018

My Story…

Migraine disease has changed my life. I have not had a headache-free day in more than eight years. But migraine is not just a headache. At the same time my head is pounding, I’m also being overtaken by fatigue; confusion; nausea; and sensitivity to light, sound, touch, and smell. These symptoms are so overwhelming that when I began to experience them daily, I became all but bed-ridden. I lost most of my friends, my job, my apartment, and my independence. I’ve tried every treatment that is reasonable for me. Recently, I’ve had limited success with Aimovig, a new drug designed to prevent migraine attacks — and a direct result of research. But further investment in migraine research is essential if we are to continue developing effective treatments for this disabling disease. I’ve begun to build a new life around what is possible for me now — but I still have hope that some day, I’ll be able to reclaim what I’ve lost. Please help me by making a donation today.

Donate to help Sarah raise money for Miles for Migraine Race - Philadelphia, 2018’s fundraising campaign.
