About Me
I am 38 years old and have a 5-year-old daughter named Leah. God is the head of our small family. The first 10 years of my MS battle, I ran, did not keep up with my MS meds. I felt untouchable! MS is definitely touching me now. I try daily not to let this disease win. Unfortunately, MS has the upper hand. Taking MS meds will help and keeping a positive attitude helps ALOT. It is a depressing disease but everday I fight it! I do not want anything or anyone to take my God given peace and joy.
