“My run from San Antonio to the Gulf of Mexico w “My run from San Antonio to the Gulf of Mexico was not unlike my MS journey. I started off with a flurry of determination to "fight" the diagnosis and continue life as usual. There were times I pretended I didn't have MS or use "mind over matter." I looked fine therefore I should be fine. Unfortunately the more I tried to power through, the more it fought back making for some miserable lonely times. I may have had support, but no one could walk this route for me. Fully embracing MS and my limits has allowed me to live. Every painful clumsy step, brought me here. Every dry sun-baked mile through the wasteland made jumping in the salty water of the Gulf of Mexico that much sweeter.” - Jennifer, Segment 17 ( @jenniferr10 ) . . That’s a wrap on Segment 17!

“When I was first diagnosed with MS, my symptoms “When I was first diagnosed with MS, my symptoms were so severe I wasn't able to run. My muscle contractures were so bad I could barely move despite numerous medications that zonked me out but didn't touch the muscle spasms. Not running I felt like I lost part of my identity. But I started regular yoga @theunionsa and it was like a miracle. It opened me up in so many ways. My amazing teachers helped me to live in the moment and accept what my body could do. Which is why it was so fitting that they were the ones to show up in my darkest place of the relay. When I was feeling lost and disappointed. They reminded me to live in the moment even if it was tough because it makes the end that much sweeter. Much like climbing this uphill with a sugar bomb Sonic slushy waiting at the top.” - Jennifer, Segment 17 ( @jenniferr10 ) #msrelay2020 #msruntheus . . . . . . . . . . . #orangearmy #multiplesclerosis #strengththroughadversity #mswarrior #chronicillness #msfigher #thisisms #livingwithms #fundraiser #givingback #curems #mssociety #ms #mssupport #ultrarunner #ultrarunning #running #runner
“A month ago after work in peak hellish South Te “A month ago after work in peak hellish South Texas summer heat and humidity, I ran from my home in San Antonio to the Gulf of Mexico in 4.5 days to complete Segment 17 of MS Run the US relay. However, since my segment is officially slotted for the next 6 days, I have the next week to share with you this once in a lifetime experience. We will go from the Alamo along the Riverwalk through stretches of farm roads without seeing a soul past wild dogs and cows chasing me amidst some intense MS symptoms while melting into the blacktop and repeatedly questioning my life decisions to finally seeing the sun rise over the water bursting into tears and knowing why I needed this journey. ❤️” - Jennifer, ( @jenniferr10 ) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Her journey is incredible and it is an honor to get to share it this week. #msrelay2020 #msruntheus #mswarrior⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #orangearmy #multiplesclerosis #strengththroughadversity #mswarrior #chronicillness #msfigher #thisisms #livingwithms #fundraiser #givingback #curems #mssociety #ms #mssupport #ultrarunner #ultrarunning #running #runner
"No race excited me more than this. I dreamed abo "No race excited me more than this. I dreamed about the miles and the hugs at the finish line from my family and friends. Postponed I think I could have handled. Virtual was deflating. I knew I would run the miles due to my commitment to all those who donated to my efforts (also because I am stubborn), but the idea of running circles in San Antonio where I did thousands of training miles did not spark joy. But I finally found a solution that did. So I decided to start running east until I hit the Gulf of Mexico, which just so happens to be a perfect 167 miles from my home. A bit poetic, symbolic finish in the water." - Jennifer ( @jenniferr10 ) , Segment 17 runner #msruntheus #msrelay2020 .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . #orangearmy #multiplesclerosis #strengththroughadversity #mswarrior #chronicillness #msfigher #thisisms #livingwithms #fundraiser #givingback #curems #mssociety #ms #mssupport #ultrarunner #ultrarunning #running #runner

"When it first became apparent that I wouldn’t b "When it first became apparent that I wouldn’t be able to run my miles for segment 16, I knew I’d be able to count on my friends and family to cover the distance. But I did not anticipate them to cover well over 1000 miles. I did not expect them to push past their own limits, to put feet to pavement every single day, to include their entire families. It has brought me so much joy to see this community come together to support me and this cause. Not only have they run so many more miles than I could have, they have spread MS awareness far beyond what I could have done by myself. We truly are better together." - Julie, Segment 16 "Hope for Hannah" Runner ( @running_from_ms ) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Congratulations Julie on creating such an incredible segment! You brought together so many people to run for MS and were inspirational to us all!

Not just in running, but with the ups and downs of MS, mom life, and everything in between. I'm so lucky to have them. And watching so many people step up with miles and miles of support for me has really taken away the sting of not being able to run right now" - Julie ( @running_from_ms ) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Segment 16, the Hope for Hannah segment, continues with Julie bringing together so many people around the country to put in miles.
