What Inspired Me?
The people. The community. A desire yearn for more. I've been in too many conversations and situations where I felt like something was missing. And not because it just wasn't available but because I may not have been positioned to receive it or inquire about it. There's a wealth of knowledge, information, services, ideologies, love, joy, and peace in living with MS. Why can't we have it?
I want my organization to speak love, prayers, and support for people living with MS. Be a beacon of light. A glimmer of hope that the people and services around us are working for our good. To reach and teach back into our community. To advocate for our healthcare needs. To engage in research studies. To educate on health, wellness, therapies, and more. To bring awareness to our capital city. But also creating that safe space for our MS Community to thrive!
