I am incredibly honored to have the chance to run segment 21, the last 189 miles, of the MS Run the US Relay, from August 2 to 8, 2026!
MS is a debilitating disease for which there is no known cause and no "cure" or drug that can stop its progression. Research into MS remains ongoing and through advocacy and awareness we can bring ourselves a little closer to eventually understanding, slowing and hopefully eliminating MS.
I first heard of MS when my sister was diagnosed. Over the years I have seen her stoically face the disease and refuse to let it stop her from living life. Her strength in the face of MS has been an inspiration and reminder that as a community we can overcome any challenge. I hope in the coming months, and through running, I can help raise awareness and the funds to support those living with MS.
