Help Sabrina raise money

Thank You for considering this event! I have suffered with migraines for roughly 20 years, maybe longer; they have impacted every aspect of my life and make me feel trapped in my own body. Since Isabella {my four-year-old daughter} has come along, I have a resurgence of fight in me - I need to stop settling for getting by and increase my quality of life, for me & to be better for her 💝 This has proven difficult, but I will keep trying. Unfortunately, migraines can be hereditary. So, while I want my precious baby to stay unscathed from such a relentless disease, the fight is now. I hope you will come support us in this long journey 🥰

Help, I’m trapped! I’m stuck in here, can’t you see… no, I guess you wouldn’t. I try my best to appear normal - it helps me cope. I doubt I could ever get anything done if I did not push to keep going. Can you imagine living life on autopilot, feeling trapped inside your own body? 

You are full of life, with passion, and want to go on many adventures, meet all types of people, make plans with everyone, keep up some semblance of a social life, and keep moving forward with your life and goals! 

However, when you get out to travel you have to spend too much of that time in bed and on medicine. Instead of being the social person you want to be you are told things like “you are never around” and “I don’t see you enough”. The energy you know you should have to tackle the things you want seems to have dissipated; it becomes energy spent on managing pain and symptoms. 

You actually want to be able to keep up on housework, get chores done, make progress in your home. 

In contrast you feel like a burden on your household, never accomplishing quite enough, and making the slowest progress you can imagine. There may be the occasional burst of energy that too quickly depletes. You overdid it in that burst and became worse off after, so your little bit of progress seems null somehow. 

There is time you want to spend enjoying your own company, reading a book, playing a game, enjoying nature, be free to just be. 

Regardless of such basic desires, you become stuck in your head, focusing on minimizing pain, discomfort, and undesirable symptoms. Relief comes from silence and low light - with isolation and rest. Focusing on anything else makes the situation worse. Now the desire becomes getting away from yourself. 

Despite wanting more, my body just can’t handle it. I have to fight to get through a normal day. Living on autopilot for me means doing the things that need to be done, without room for extra, which requires no difficult thinking or maneuvering. I know I am much more than what I have been, but I am stuck with a neurological disorder that makes my body difficult to live with. 

Please consider joining my team {Sabrina’s Support ♥ IzzyBells} for Miles for Migraine in support of raising awareness for this neurological disorder and raising funding to research it. There are numerous options for joining, including a 2mile walk and 5k run. If the location does not work for you, there is a virtual event. At the location there is also a Map the Migraine Treasure Hunt. 

If you are unable to attend on Sunday, September 28th, please consider donating on my personal page or team page. Not nearly enough is known about migraines and I would like more answers for my daughter [risk of migraines increase for children of sufferers and it is more common in females].
