Matthew Wager's Story

I’m running 155 miles in Segment 14 from Williamsburg, IA to Platteville, WI to show that a diagnosis doesn’t define me! In June of 2026, I will be crossing two states, two sides of the Mississippi River, and two seasons as spring turns into summer.

While I have had MS for 13 years, getting diagnosed with epilepsy in 2024 is what got me into endurance sports. I was unable to drive for eight months and felt incapable of doing the simplest tasks. I had to cancel haircuts three miles away because I couldn’t get a ride; now I can run 50K in one race! I want to take advantage of everything I can do and challenge myself to do more.

Please help me reach my fundraising goal while I put in the miles to stop MS!
