Linda's Story
After being diagnosed with MS in 2018, I struggled greatly with my walking,
going from using a cane, to two canes, to a walker and/or crutches,
sometimes a wheelchair, then back and forth between all of these assistive
devices. It was a terribly discouraging time, but over the past few years, I
came across Dr. Gretchen’s MSing Link program on social media. Her
posts presented such do-able tips for living with various MS symptoms,
physical movement, walking, strength and flexibility, as well as uplifting and
encouraging reminders and reaffirmations, all of which began to make a
difference for my perspective and movement.
I began to notice small improvements, then more and more improvements,
to the point that I can now walk without an assistive device. While this kind
of improvement may not happen for everyone, all the exercise and tips Dr.
Gretchen presents can help all of us with even small improvements and
with support and encouragement within her MSing Link community.
In appreciation of all Dr. Gretchen and her program have provided me, I
would like to do this walk to raise money for a scholarship fund so that
others who would not be able to afford participation in the MSing Link
program can have the opportunity to access this amazing program and
community.
★ On March 12, 2023, our “Wag More Team” will come together for a 1-mile
walk in Cypress, CA.
We welcome everyone to join us either in person or
wherever you live, whether it be a walk across your room, a walk around
the block, or a full 1-mile walk—even a bike ride, a swim—any kind of
movement.
It’s all about raising money to grow this scholarship fund to
help others find their way to as much improvement and support as
possible.
And, let’s find out….
Can Linda do it?!?
