My MS diagnosis:

“I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in June 2022, I was crushed as I have two young daughters. MS made me feel broken and I hid the fact that I had it from most people. I did not want anything to change for me. I was fearful and saddened by what my future could look like.”

Giving back:

“I needed to tell others about my MS diagnosis at some point but I wanted it to be for a good reason. The MS walk fundraiser seemed like the right thing. Helping others and still living the same life doing everything I’ve always done made me feel good.”

Read on:

“I am a bookworm! I love to curl up with a good book at night and unwind, drifting into someone else’s life, getting tried and then going to sleep.”

My big flex:

“I recently asked my girls if they would rather I not compete anymore because I would be home more for them. They said they love me competing because ‘it’s a big flex with all our friends–they all say how strong you are.’”

Healthy habits:

“I stay active by setting habits in place, such as 6 a.m. cardio before the kids get up. It just wakes me up and is a habit of good health just like brushing my teeth. I also carve out time in my schedule so it’s planned like an appointment. I know my health depends on staying active and I don’t ever want MS to take over my life.”
