RUNNING FARTHER TO SERVE OTHERS

As Meghan ( @megruns4ms ) prepares for her Segment As Meghan ( @megruns4ms ) prepares for her Segment 6 run this Saturday through Monday, we have a special message from her Aunt Laura ( @lje359 ) and family all the way from Minnesota! Meghan was inspired to fight for MS after Laura’s diagnosis in 2013. Meghan is fighting for her, and everyone affected by MS, as she raises money and continues to bring awareness! #msrelay2020 #msruntheus #megfightsforlaura . . . . . . . . . . . #orangearmy #multiplesclerosis #strengththroughadversity #mswarrior #chronicillness #msfigher #thisisms #livingwithms #fundraiser #givingback #curems #mssociety #ms #mssupport #megruns4ms
This Saturday through Monday Meghan will be comple This Saturday through Monday Meghan will be completing her segment and she is asking YOU for help! Her hope is to have as many people as possible join her Saturday through Monday by putting in your own miles with her as we see how many miles can be completed together! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ No matter what you are doing... walking your dog, going on a run, taking a bike ride... put on your orange and get out there to support the cause! Post a photo and use hashtag #megfightsforlaura and together we can bring awareness all over the country with Megan leading the charge! #msrelay2020 #msruntheus .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . #orangearmy #multiplesclerosis #strengththroughadversity #mswarrior #chronicillness #msfigher #thisisms #livingwithms #fundraiser #givingback #curems #mssociety #ms #mssupport
Segment 6 is here and Meghan ( @megruns4ms ) is as Segment 6 is here and Meghan ( @megruns4ms ) is asking all of us to get involved!!! . . “Plan A failed due to knee injury. Plan B failed due to Covid-19. Plan C failed due to logistical issues and safety concerns. Plan D failed again due to Covid-19. But, no one plans on receiving a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis either. We shake our head, maybe cuss a little, then smile and move forward. @lje359 is the definition of resilient. MS has thrown her some serious curveballs and she continues to stand back up (while probably cussing) and take 3 steps forward. She is my reason yesterday, today, and for all of my tomorrows. The ONLY PLAN for Segment 6 is to STAY ACTIVE, wear ORANGE, and have FUN! I’m not only inviting you, but encouraging you, to JOIN ME. Help me complete as many miles as physically possible from July 11-13 and help me raise awareness to STOP MS. Walk (yourself, your dog.... or maybe even your cat @mrscaseyallen ), hike, run, swim, or saddle up on your bike. Help me achieve my goal of raising $60,000 for @msruntheus to help others who battle the disease. 🧡 No one fights alone. Let us complete Segment 6 TOGETHER.” - Meghan #megfightsforlaura #msruntheus #msrrelay2020 . . . . . . . . . . . #orangearmy #multiplesclerosis #strengththroughadversity #mswarrior #chronicillness #msfigher #thisisms #livingwithms #fundraiser #givingback #curems #mssociety #ms #mssupport #ultrarunning #running #runningforacause #run #fitness #active #activelifestyle #megfightsforlaura
DAY 7 131.6 of 131.6 miles — Yesterday I comple DAY 7 131.6 of 131.6 miles — Yesterday I completed my last leg of my 131.6 miles segment in 7 days as part of the MS Run the US Virtual Relay Team. To mark the 188 miles I was slated to run in Utah back in May, I was fortunate to be able to donate 188 masks to the Ann Romney Center at Brigham and Women’s during these uncertain times which were accepted upon my finish by my very own doctor. I am still on cloud nine, but nonetheless this week was a testament of what I am able to accomplish. I ran more miles than I ever imagined myself to be able to physically do and raised over $15k for a cause that has changed my life. I could not have achieved what I did without all the love and support from my family and friends both near and far who cheered me every step of the way and of course the generous donors. Thank you to each and every one of you for being with me on this journey. It was without a doubt a challenge, but one that tested my limits in the best way possible and an experience that will hold a special place in my heart for the rest of my life.” - Ally @allygosman #msrelay2020 #msruntheus . . . . . . . . . . #orangearmy #multiplesclerosis #strengththroughadversity #mswarrior #chronicillness #msfigher #thisisms #livingwithms #fundraiser #givingback #curems #mssociety #ms #mssupport #ultrarunner #runner #running
Last Saturday Segment 4 Runner, Ryan Costello ( @c Last Saturday Segment 4 Runner, Ryan Costello ( @costello.ryan ) hosted a social distance half marathon for his virtual segment and we are so excited to share photos and a few words from Ryan on this incredible day! . “I just want to thank everyone who took part in Saturdays “Socially Distanced Half Marathon” both in person and virtually. I am humbled by the opportunity to put this event together and to witness the outpouring of support by participants and donors. . It took only 2 1/2 hours to cover the same 183 miles that would’ve taken a week to cover alone. . I hope that Saturday was a reminder to those living with Multiple Sclerosis, that they are not in this fight alone and that together, we will stop MS.” - Ryan . . Absolutely incredible Ryan! Thank you for all you have done to raise awareness and what an incredible way to bring people together for your segment!! #msrelay2020 #msruntheus . . . . . . . . . . . #orangearmy #multiplesclerosis #strengththroughadversity #mswarrior #chronicillness #msfigher #thisisms #livingwithms #fundraiser #givingback #curems #mssociety #ms #mssupport #ultrarunning #ultrarunner #halfmarathon
DAY 5 94 of 131.6 miles — I have 2 days left of DAY 5 94 of 131.6 miles — I have 2 days left of my segment and to say that the past 5 days has been a challenge is an understatement, but more importantly it has been extremely rewarding. I think back to all the training I have done since October where I will say it was not all glorious. There were bumps in the road both physically and mentally - Falls on ice during the New England winter, 90 minute training runs indoors on a treadmill, tendonitis in my right foot that put me in a boot for 10 days, shin splints in my left leg nearly 1 month before my start, and many mornings that I just wanted to sleep. However, each of these roadblocks reminded me why I joined the 2020 Relay team. Running in honor of those diagnosed with MS and raising awareness to fund for aid, new treatments and breakthroughs, and more importantly experts in the field who are passionate to find a cure and end MS. I have raised more money more than I ever imagined for an amazing cause and I have learned so much about myself that has gotten me to where I am today and where I hope to be in future. - Ally ( @allygosman ) #msrelay2020 #msruntheus .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #orangearmy #multiplesclerosis #strengththroughadversity #mswarrior #chronicillness #msfigher #thisisms #livingwithms #fundraiser #givingback #curems #mssociety #ultrarunner #runner #ultrarunning #ms #mssupport
#Repost @allygosman with @get_repost⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ・・・⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ DAY 4 75.2 of 131.6 — Today marks a little over half way through my segment. I ran this morning solo, crewing myself for the full 18.8 miles hoping I would beat the incoming summer thunderstorm. Thankfully I did and it felt extremely liberating to know I could support myself through this feat I have taken on. Especially as I crossed the Boston Marathon finish line, I couldn’t help but think about all the runners who unfortunately were not able to participate this year after putting in so much time and effort to their training, which is why I chose that route today. As I reflect on the past 3 days, I am so lucky to have my family and friends local to support me along the way. From an ice cold water 10 miles in to a cheer squad at miles 13 and 16 and running partners for the final legs, these are the special people in my life and the moments that lift me up during times of doubt.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Keep it up Ally!

Day 3 | 56.4 of 131.6...It’s hard to believe tha Day 3 | 56.4 of 131.6...It’s hard to believe that the week I have been anticipating all year is finally here. Running in the heat of summer is not easy, especially with my MS diagnosis, but each run I take, I focus on one mile at a time, putting one foot in front of the other to get me to the next leg. I think back to the moments before I was diagnosed whereI stumbled on the treadmill trying to get 3 miles or had to endure the struggle to stand on my toes and lift my leg in a barre class. Even opening my hand to hold a pen was hard. I felted defeated and disappointed. With my type-A personality that is hard to bare, but I was not going to let it stop me. Now I remind myself where I am today, completing 185 runs totaling over 1,500 miles. Truly, nothing is going to stop me as I cope to live with this disease for the rest of my life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As my Dad has always said, MS is life changing, not life threatening. - Ally Gosman @allygosman .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #orangearmy #multiplesclerosis #strengththroughadversity #mswarrior #chronicillness #msfigher #thisisms #livingwithms #fundraiser #givingback #curems #mssociety #ms #mssupport

DID YOU KNOW: MS is labeled as a “silent disease DID YOU KNOW: MS is labeled as a “silent disease” or an “invisible disability.” Many people with MS look no different from someone without it because some of the symptoms, such as blurred vision, sensory problems, and chronic pain, are not visible. #msruntheus . . . . . . . . . . . #orangearmy #multiplesclerosis #strengththroughadversity #mswarrior #chronicillness #msfigher #thisisms #livingwithms #fundraiser #givingback #curems #mssociety #ms #mssupport #runner #ultrarunner #running
While Ryan ( @costello.ryan ) gets ready for the a While Ryan ( @costello.ryan ) gets ready for the amazing Half Marathon this weekend (if you didn’t watch his video on his extremely creative idea to get his miles covered, check out the previous post!!) , @allygosman is getting ready for Segment 5 next week! . #Repost @allygosman with @get_repost ・・・ Ask me how and why?!...Nearly 1 million people in the United States are living with MS and everyone’s case is different. I am thankful that my symptoms are minimal. So when people ask me how I am feeling, I am proud to say that I am feeling great. I told myself when I was diagnosed that I was going to do everything I was already doing, but more. Joining the MS Run the US 2020 Relay Team was that more. Friday will be the start of my virtual 131.6 mile segment in 7 days as I run for those who can’t! #msruntheus #strengththroughadversity #orangearmy #finishms 📸: @sydneygosman
