Help Anita raise money

For participating in Miles for Migraine - Los Angeles 2021

My Story…

Hello Friends,

Many of you may be aware that I have suffered from chronic migraines for as long as I can remember. They got progressively worse as I got older. These migraines degraded my quality of life significantly over time and impacted all of my relationships - all of them. It wasn't until I was truly desperate that I finally found some relief in a neurologist that introduced to meds that help prevent migraines that gave me back my life. I will never have the kind of carefree life that others without migraine have. But that's ok. I am happy to save the calories by not drinking all that alcohol!! Haha

Over the years, 17 years to be accurate, I have conducted a lot of fundraising on my personal social media pages. I have supported other people's causes. But none of these causes have ever been in support of a cause that directly impacted my health. Not until this one. This is the first time, I am making an ask in support of a cause that affects my personal health.  Migraine affects so many people and yet it is wildly misunderstood by the masses. 

Anyway, I am participating in a Virtual Activity and am asking others to join me. On the day, December 4th, which is a Saturday, I may go for a walk down by the beach. Let me know if you would like to join me. And if you can spare a few bucks towards my fundraising goal, I'd really appreciate that too. 

Mostly, if you have your health, be grateful and take care of it. Because it is precious.
