Ashley M. Kumlien and Thomas Budde stopped in Carrollton, Ohio on Labor Day 2010. While there I got to meet Tom and Ashley while they stopped for a few moments before heading off to the state of PA. Ashley is in this photo with me, Edward L. Hale. I was diagnosed with MS in 2006 and I am a Carroll County MS Activist.
Step by step, Ashley M. Kumlien is running to make a difference for people battling multiple sclerosis.
She has been running 25-30 miles a day since she left San Francisco in April to raise money for multiple sclerosis research. She plans to reach New York City by Sept. 30. The distance is roughly 3,200 miles. She calculated that she could complete the run in six months by running 20 miles a day.
Her run was inspired by her mother, Jill Kumlien, who was diagnosed with MS 28 years ago. The disease has given her mother seizures and balance issues. Some days she is a little fuzzy; on others she can think clearly. She is losing her fine motor skills.
After breaking her arm in August, and in the wake of several surgeries, Janice's challenge is to re-learn to use her left hand.
She's scheduled to begin occupational therapy next week, but she's pretty sure what they'll have her work on. So far, she hasn't regained the ability to place her hand flat on a table and spread her fingers.
But, each day, she shows progress!
My partner has MS - this is 2 months' worth of her Rebif (Interferon) injections. (Three times a week, in the butt.) It's not an enjoyable experience, nor was it working for her after several years. She began a new treatment in November '07, a monthly infusion called Tysabri. She already feels better. For more information about MS, click here: www.nationalmssociety.org
This weekend I jumped on an online call with other folks from all over the world that were part of my HSCT group in Puebla last fall. It was really good to catch up with them ^_^

This past year I have had to dig deep to have courage to do self injections as part of the treatment for this uninvited guest that is in my body called MS. I have anxiety each time I have to do this, it really does not hurt-most of the time. The side effect is fluish symptoms so I do this at night so I can sleep through it.
Facing fears...this past decade has been about that. ..divorce, finding a job, illness, self-doubt.
One day at a time, it's okay to fall down, get back up & keep moving forward...courage even when it feels like fear, let go and see the power within and the beauty that radiates of the simplicity of each day...live life in the light of peace & love.

It's odd to me to think of a world without MS, as it's always been a part of my life. My mom, Sherry, was diagnosed with MS shortly after my birth. While I don't have any recollection of her first attack, I do remember various relapses from her remission througout the years. For a period of time in grade school, my mom was basically bed-ridden and couldn't drive, and she suffered a similar attack during my sophomore year in high school.
Through it all, my mom has proven to be strong beyond belief. She always did her best not to let MS get the better of her. There were times when I forgot my mom was sick because she worked so hard to make her family's life as normal as possible. Even now, she spends many days keeping up with two young grandkids who have little awareness their "Nana" struggles with the daily symptoms of this terrible disease.
I can't fight my mom's battle, but I can help find a cure. I ride in recognition of this amazing woman's battle, and I ride becuase we can make sure that others don't have to ever fight it.
My mom isn't the only person close to me affected by MS. I'm also riding in honor of Donna Sallen, my aunt. Jennifer Kurtz, my co-worker and friend. Lee Ann Stark, my friend Cheryl's mom.
Why You Should Sponsor Me
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society will use funds collected from the Bike MS: Harmons Best Dam Bike Ride to not only support research for a cure tomorrow, but also to provide programs which address the needs of people living with MS today. Because we can fight this disease by simply riding a bike, because we have chosen to help thousands of people through a contribution to the Bike MS: Harmons Best Dam Bike Ride , we are now getting closer to the hour when no one will have to hear the words, "You have MS."
