My Story…

Multiple sclerosis touches more lives than most of us realize. Someone you know may be living with MS—your boss, a friend’s mom, your neighbor, your hairdresser, or even a perfect stranger you pass on the street. It doesn’t always announce itself, but it shapes daily life in ways both visible and unseen. MS can change how a person moves, works, thinks, and plans for the future, and it affects not just individuals, but families and entire communities.


Raising money for MS research through the National Multiple Sclerosis Society -Finish MS is one of the most meaningful ways we can show up for those living with this disease. That’s why I’m participating in Run for a Reason at the Pittsburgh Half Marathon, using every mile as an opportunity to raise awareness and funds for MS research. Research drives better treatments, improved quality of life, and hope for a future without MS, while donations help support critical studies and provide vital resources for those navigating life with this disease.


I would love to raise money through this race to help continue this important work and ensure that people affected by MS don’t have to face it alone. Every step I take and every donation given—no matter the size—helps move research forward and brings us closer to breakthroughs and, ultimately, a cure. Together, we can turn miles into meaning and make a real difference for those living with MS. 🧡🏃‍♀️

Description

My goal — a world free of multiple sclerosis.

I’ve signed up for Finish MS to push myself physically and raise important funds for the National MS Society. 

Multiple sclerosis is a devastating disease that no one should face alone, and the Society is there so no one has to. This organization has paved the way for every effective MS treatment available today and is the best investment in reaching a cure for multiple sclerosis. 

I’m running full steam ahead with a commitment to end MS, and I hope I can count on your support as I prepare for this incredible experience. I’ve set an ambitious goal because I know that with your help I can get there!

Join me on this journey — donate today and help me reach my goal.
