My Story…
Thank you for checking out my page! My name is Angeline, and I live with MS. I am expanding my charity running to this years Pittsburgh Marathon with my friends to continue spreading awareness about Multiple Sclerosis and to help raise funds for the MS society so that others have access to resources that they need.
Since I graduated college I have really grown to love and enjoy running. I have felt the benefits of exercise for mental clarity, migraine management and overall well being. Running to me is a form of meditation.
In September 2021 I began to have episodes of different nerve sensations and other problems occur and periods of extreme fatigue- one in September, the other in November. I dusted it off to past injuries. In February 2022 I went from an eye visit to a three day stay in the hospital where I received my MS diagnosis. Since that September I was already struggling to get back into running, but knew the benefits of exercise so I knew I needed to do something big. That is when I found the Finish MS program and signed up for my first charity run at the Pittsburgh Marathon. Since then, I have completed two Marathons under the Finish MS charity program and now am trying out different distances
Hearing you have MS is like a punch in the gut- Managing MS is never easy, Living with MS though can bring on a new sense of purpose and gratitude for life. My main motivation is my faith in God, and reminding myself every day that my love for my family is stronger. I have made it my goal to continue to run, spread awareness and hopefully encourage others.
Please help us all living with MS and consider making a donation- any amount helps!

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.
