My Story…

69cd305521b6a.png

Fundraising for the Multiple Sclerosis Society is deeply personal to me. My grandfather, George Iverson, lived with MS for almost 30 years. My father recalls Grandpa telling him about one of his first major episodes — getting pins and needles in his legs and feet while walking through Dedham Square. At a time when diagnosis and treatment were far less advanced than today, symptoms were often dismissed or misunderstood. Grandpa George fought like hell, trying everything from unconventional therapies to clinical trials.

He built a beautiful life with my grandmother Louise, as the apple of his eye, and his family at the center. I was only three when he passed away. I often wonder what our relationship could have been like with earlier intervention and better care. That's why I'm raising money for the MS Society: so other families don't have to carry that same question.

I'm honored to run for this team and help advance research that could change outcomes for people like my Grandpa George.

Description

My goal — a world free of multiple sclerosis.

This year, I'm proud to be running the 2026 Falmouth Road Race with the Finish MS team to support the life changing work of the National Multiple Sclerosis 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.
