As I recover from a challenging bout with COVID, I’m reminded of how temporary these setbacks are for me. In just a few weeks, I’ll be heading to Georgia to participate in a Bike MS event, facing over 4,400 feet of climbing on the first day alone. While the thought of tackling those hills is daunting, I know that this challenge will pass.

For those living with MS, there is no break from the symptoms they endure every day. They can’t pause their struggles or simply “get back to normal.” This ride is my way of showing solidarity with them and raising awareness for the millions who fight this battle daily.

I’m so close to reaching my initial fundraising goal of $5,000, and I need your help to get there. Every dollar you pledge brings us one step closer to a world free of MS. This week is especially meaningful as it’s the birthday of Kim Imus Schaefer, a remarkable individual who has been a source of inspiration for me. I ask that you honor Kim and the millions of others affected by MS by contributing to this cause.

Let’s work together to make a difference. Your support means everything to me and to those who continue to live with the daily challenges of MS.
