Hi everyone! For those who take the time to read this - thank you. Every year for the last 2 years I have walked the MS walk and attempt to get donations. I know money is tight every where. The walk this year is extra special for me because I am walking with my son. This is the first time he has wanted to be involved with my fund raising. Last year was a tough one for me and my family. I had 2 episodes of MS and he was there by my side being my little nurse some nights helping me with my IV making sure my meds went ok. I guess he is growing up on me. I have to say some where inside a little bit of my heart broke because he has to see me when I get "bad" and I can't do what I normally do. He puts up with my mood swings with the steroids when I go on them and I know it is tough for him to see me that way.
I am walking because I was diagnosed with MS. This is very important to me and personal. This disease has changed my life a lot. Can't really say it is necessarily for the worse because I have learned to not to take things for granted. Every day that I can get out of bed, it is a blessing. And the days when it isn't so great, I just think...wow it could be so much worse. We all go through trials in our lives to make us stronger and for that, I am greatful. Plus, I am supported by wonderful friends and family.
