It was so nice to see everyone that came out to support me and everyone else that is in this fight against Multiple Sclerosis. I had so many friends and family donate some great items for the silent auction and that was where we received the most money. It is truly a blessing to have such generous and caring people in my life.
As I went around Angeno’s selling the tickets for the beer bust I was able to speak with people about Multiple Sclerosis and the effect that it has on me and my family. The best part about sharing my story was hearing the stories of other people. Some had loved ones that were diagnosed when there were no treatment options and they are now in a wheelchair with no use of their legs. One man I spoke with had a wife that passed away after battling MS for many years.
These stories both scare me and keep me hopeful at the same time. It scares me to know that this could be my fate somewhere down the line. However, my hope outweighs my fears. There are so many treatment options out for those that are diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and we can live a healthy and happy life. This is the reason why I work so hard to get people to open their wallets for the National MS Society and participate in the MS Walk.
One day we will have a cure for Multiple Sclerosis and that will really be a celebration!
