Help Lourdes raise money

For participating in Miles for Migraine Philadelphia - 2023

My Story…

Though most don't believe me when I say this, but I had a headache every day for over 11 years, until I went to Jefferson headache clinic.  The headache ranged from a 3 to a 4 on average, but migraines were weekly.  Still somehow I graduated with 2 associates degrees, a bachelors degree and nearly finished a masters.  I worked various jobs, kept house, took care of my fur family and worked to maintain a marriage all with mental health and a multitude of other physical health issues.  However, upon being admitted to Jefferson and receiving an infusion, after 5 days I learned that "0" was a thing, I didn't even know that was a number to rate a headache, I always thought that there would be pain.  As I cried tears of joy upon this realization, I feared I would get another headache, but I didn't.  Although I still get headaches here and there, I am doing amazing.  I again, cannot thank each and every one of those at Jefferson who helped change my life.  Thank you, thank you, forever and all-ways thank you.
