Help Lindsay raise money

I got my first migraine when I was 16 years old. Today, at 37 years old, I suffer from daily chronic migraines--my official diagnosis is "status migrainosus," which is a tame way of saying my migraines last days and are often resistant to traditional medications and therapies used to help combat migraines. This type of migraine affects less than 1% of people who suffer from migraines.

So much research is still needed to help people like me. Why do people get migraines? What's causing them? Is there a way to cure them? These are the questions researchers are looking for answers to, in addition to working on medication and therapy options to help those who, like me, have migraines so severe and with such frequency that they significantly affect quality of life.

I'm a career editor and writer, a wife, a mother, a daughter, a friend. I love to run, hike, write, and read. I adore spending time with my boys. And I do all of this with a base level of daily pain that would seem ridiculous to most people. (I mean, it IS ridiculous, but it is what it is in my case.)

You know I'm good for the run! :) I'll post pictures and maybe do something fun to thank you for donating. Every little bit helps.
