Help us raise money

Help me fundraise in support of MS of Canada.

A little bit about my story is that I was diagnosed with MS in November 2021. My diagnosis is what actually kick started my marathon training in 2022. As soon as I received my official diagnosis, I knew I wanted to make good on my goal of completing a full marathon before I turned 40. Even though I was still a few years off from that point, I knew how quickly things could change for me medically with my mobility. Instead of focusing on my fears, I used them to push me into not only accomplishing my goal of finishing the 2022 Calgary Marathon but also bringing some awareness to a charity so near and dear to my heart. I feel very honoured to have been able to run with such a huge team cheering me on throughout the marathon. My friend Sarah and I ran under the team name of ‘Don’t UnderMStimate Us’ in 2022 and I’m so happy to be running under our same team name again!

One day, it is my hope that that living with MS can be a thing of the past and it can just become a small footnote on my medical record. Until then, I feel lucky that I was able to accomplish my goal and that so many people never UnderMStimated me.

Thanks again for all of the love and support,

Sara
