My Story…
My late Grandmother, Mary Ann, had her Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis before I was born. She was able to get diagnosed in the 90s after decades of trying to understand symptoms. As I grew up I was able to see how MS impacted her mobility. Over the course of my life, I watched as she lost more and more of her ability to move her legs. Eventually the disease took away her ability to walk. Her struggle with the disease did not stop her from being an involved and loving grandmother to 5 grandchildren. Her strong fight against MS during her lifetime was helped by ongoing research. Medical care including medication, therapies, and doctor appointments made a big impact on her life with the disease. There is currently no cure to the disease, but there are efforts by research to find a cure. National Multiple Sclerosis Society, takes funds and puts it towards research to find a cure. I want to raise this money to run my first marathon in her honor. After watching her experience with the disease, I want a cure to be found. I would love for you to check out their page, and help me raise money for the cause.
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.
