Here’s what a variety of people say is the most important thing they do to manage their MS so they can live their best life.

"It's been 10 years since I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. I remember when the doctors came in and told me the news, I thought my life was over. How as an 18 year old, was this happening to me? Would I ever regain feeling in my lower half? All these thoughts raced through my mind. I am beyond blessed and grateful to say getting diagnosed with MS changed my life for the better. It sent me on a journey of learning about diet and lifestyle. It brought me to running. It changed my life in so many beneficial ways. My only message to anyone getting diagnosed with MS is to be your own advocate. Don’t listen to what the internet says. Don’t listen to any comments from people about how your life is going to change for the worse. Create your own destiny. Be positive. Be happy. Believe in yourself. You will make it through.

I am extremely grateful to God for the many blessings I have been given with MS, my family for being my rock when I needed it, my fiancé for helping me through the hardest part of my life 10 years ago and sticking by my side, and to all of you who continue to support me. You empower me to continue forward.

Here’s to many more years of running far, raising awareness for MS, and making memories that I will never forget."

September CPI held at 3.7% YoY, still significantly above the Fed’s 2% target.
