Well, I’ve been away awhile. I had some personal things that brought a hard pause to my blogging hobby, but it’s all been sorted out and I think I’m ready to return.

Why today, you ask? Well, I have some news to share that I think beautifully combines both running and MS, which seem to be the two topics most people like to read about here. Folks, earlier this year I decided to try to run a full marathon. I’ve been training for a couple months already, and this past week I decided to use this as an opportunity to raise funds for The National MS Society as well as solicit moral support. Because this is a colossal thing I’m shooting for. 26.2 miles is no joke for able bodied people, and here I am attempting it in spite of all the physical challenges that I live with on a daily basis, thanks to our good friend Multiple Sclerosis.

Those who know me on a personal level know I don’t often ask for help, and asking for donations doesn’t come easy for me. However, The National MS Society is an organization that has provided support to me throughout my MS journey in so many ways and I want to help give back.

So! You can visit my fundraising page by going HERE. I would be beyond grateful for your support, however you are able to give it. That could mean dollars, prayers, positive thoughts, likes, shares, or all of the above. It all means the world to me!

I also highly recommend visiting from my Facebook fundraising page. You can donate from either link but this is where I’ll be posting weekly updates throughout my training. Check it out!
