Being a part of Team MSAA for the Anniversary Challenge with the intention of raising money for the Multiple Sclerosis Association of America is one of the greatest honors in my life right now.
I have dedicated my life to helping people like me get access to things they need to navigate the often twisty and dark road of MS. MSAA has been a light in that dark path for me and my family. I would not be where I am today without the support of my Team at MSAA. Fundraising has always been a passion of mine and now I get to do it for a cause I truly believe in everyday. Last year the thought of doing 19.70 miles on my bike was daunting, I had to break it out over several days. This year? I am ready to take on all 19.70 in one day during June. Look out world, HERE I COME!
Every day, people with MS live with the unpredictability of this disease. They may face unbearable fatigue, balance and mobility issues, numbness, difficulty walking, heat sensitivity, blurry vision, or any others in a long list of symptoms. No one knows what causes MS and there is no cure. But with your support, there is help – and hope – for anyone affected by MS.
MSAA improves the lives of tens of thousands of individuals with MS, their families and their care partners each year by providing free, vital programs and services such as: a toll-free Helpline; award-winning publications including a magazine, The Motivator; dynamic website featuring educational videos and research updates; S.E.A.R.C.H.™ program to assist the MS community with learning about different treatment choices; a mobile phone app, My MS Manager™; a resource database, My MS Resource Locator®; equipment distribution; educational programs and activities; MRI funding; and more.
Your support helps make the free programs and services MSAA offers possible. Please consider contributing to my fundraising goal and help improve lives today!
