I’m excited to share that I will be participating in the Miles for Migraine Walk/Run/Relax, to raise funds for Miles for Migraines and The USF Tampa Headache Center to support their efforts in migraine research, advocacy, education and treatment.  

This event is especially meaningful to me, as it marks my first race since being diagnosed with vestibular migraines. Coping with dizziness, vertigo, blurry vision, and relentless headaches has been one of the most debilitating and challenging experiences of my life.

The forced pause I had to take to manage the symptoms of this condition taught me the importance of listening to my body, prioritizing my mental health, and quite literally: slowing down.

After months of tests, treatments, therapy, personal adjustments and much more, I started walking again. Some days were harder than others, but I kept trying. Slowly, I started jogging—just a few seconds at a time—and with every step, I began to believe I could return to running, even if it meant starting over. And well… I am!

On February 8^th, I’m “starting over”, expecting nothing and appreciating everything. I’m running not just for myself, but for everyone who lives with migraines, those facing invisible struggles, and for all the family members and friends who offer unwavering support.

If you’d like to be part of Miles for Migraines, please join our team and help us: Verti-Go the Distance!!.

Thank you for your support!
