My

This year, I am walking in support of Kristy Williams.

I am walking alongside her, and alongside so many others, to raise awareness and support for multiple sclerosis — a disease that can be so deeply felt, yet often unseen.

MS is a condition where the immune system attacks the brain and spinal cord. It can affect each person differently, causing symptoms such as vision problems, extreme tiredness, trouble walking, balance issues, numbness, weakness and so much more.

For Kristy, MS became very real on January 1st, when she woke with her first MS attack.

At first, she was in denial, hoping things would improve and her vision would return to what she knew. But days passed, and the battle continued. She was doing everything she possibly could to recover, seeing the right people, and trying to get back even a little of what she had lost.

MS is often called a silent disease, and Kristy’s story shows exactly why.

From the outside, someone may look fine. They may not be in hospital. They may not be under intensive care. But that does not mean they are not suffering. It does not mean they are not struggling every day. It does not mean their world hasn’t been turned upside down.

I love Kristy, and I want to support her in any way I can. So this year, I walk for her.

I walk to show her she is not alone.

I walk for awareness.

I walk for support.

I walk for hope.

And I walk for everyone living with MS, especially those fighting battles that others cannot see.

Any donation, big or small, would mean so much and will help support people living with MS and the ongoing search for better treatment, support and understanding.

For Kristy, and for everyone living with MS, we walk together. ❤️
