Another MS Story ahead of the 2023 MS Walk

Just a couple more weeks until the 2023 MS Walk across ATCSMC! (Yes, there is still time to register!)

We asked ATCSMC staff to share stories on why MS Walks are important to them and how MS has impacted their lives.

Today’s story comes from Kristina M:

“I have MS.

I was diagnosed 4 months after we participated in our first MS walk in 2014. I had initially participated in the walk for my uncle who suffers from MS not knowing I was in the walk suffering from MS myself.

I was diagnosed September 15^th, 2014 after suffering for over 2 weeks with weird symptoms. Numbness in my feet, moving up my legs and arms then to my face.  After an MRI showed 50+ lesions on each hemisphere of my brain and optic damage I was given the diagnosis. I have great support at home with my husband and 2 adult children. They keep me going every day and know: “I will not let MS win”

Thank you.”

Kristina’s daughter designed the tattoo pictured in the post!

Thank you very much for sharing your story, Kristina!
