Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

Welcome to my fundraising page! This challenge is more than physical. We're on a mission to raise $25,000 for MS research. We call it fundracin'. 

My Story
My objective is clear: to not be a wasted life. After the loss of my first child in 2008, I began my journey into living. Every day is a precious gift, and for certain, I know that nothing is a given. I had to ask myself: what do you want to experience in this time on earth? And everyday I try my hardest to answer that question and LIVE it, really live it. Training through triathlon has brought me such healing. Defying my limitations, and doing things unimaginable. I've lost over 100 pounds now, and continue to smash the odds. 

My Encouragement
TRIFEST for MS was my very first triathlon. Sandra Jo Rampy was my very first step into this type of racing, with her gentle encouragement saying, "you can do this." It seemed like a far off dream, but within a few months, I was crossing the finish line, in what would be the start of an amazing journey!

Dedication
I dedicate my race to, absolutely, my son Logan. They are all for him. All of them, every last step, every last breath. I am because of him.

About MS
