Help Carrie raise money

For participating in Tamarack Ottawa Virtual Race Weekend 2020

My Story…

I chose the MS Society of Canada as the charity I wish to raise funds for because the disease has affected my life in a very harsh way as many of you are aware. MS has robbed so many people of life's basic functions and pleasures. Despite this, I cannot wait to give back to and support the community in whatever capacity I am able to. I am honoured to run with people who have a similar sentiment as myself on May 23. My only regret is that I didn’t take part in this much sooner. Running did not come physically natural to me. It took a tonne of hard work to get to where I am now, but it was natural in the sense that I feel a huge motivation to run for those who cannot. Running makes me feel empowered... even bulletproof. It also gives me the time to focus on myself. As a caretaker of someone with this brutal disease, this is essential. This will be my first and most definitely not my last race that I have registered for and I am unbelievably excited. I am ready for this!!!

Description

In Canada, there is one organization with national reach that can support people impacted by MS and tip the scales of MS research to change lives forever: the MS Society of Canada.

Our mission is to connect and empower the MS community to create a positive change.

The MS Society of Canada takes collective action to fund innovative and ground-breaking research that will advance treatment and care for people affected by MS. 

There have been incredible breakthroughs made and we still have more to achieve.
