Help Caroline raise money

During college, my roommate, just 21 years old, began experiencing a sudden and overwhelming change in her everyday life. As her symptoms progressed, I witnessed firsthand how early signs of MS can affect not only physical health, but every aspect of a person’s life. She struggled with eye pain, extreme fatigue, dizziness, and significant memory challenges. These symptoms began to impact her school, her work, and even her sense of self.

What stood out to me most during that time was how isolating and frightening the experience was for her. It was appointment after appointment, MRI after MRI, with so much uncertainty in between. She felt lost and scared, and it became clear how important a strong support system truly is. My roommates and I came together to support her in any way we could, simply because we knew she shouldn’t have to go through it alone.

That experience changed my perspective. It showed me that support, whether emotional or physical, can make a world of difference for someone facing early signs of MS. I am running to be part of that support system on a larger scale. I want to help raise awareness, fund research, and ensure that others facing MS feel less alone in their journey.
