Training for the Berlin Marathon hasn’t looked the way I thought it would.

This season has come with injury, setbacks, and a lot of uncertainty around whether I’ll even make it to the start line. But through all of it, I’ve gained a much deeper perspective on what it means to keep showing up.

As runners, we often expect our bodies to recover, heal, and bounce back. For those living with MS, that isn’t always guaranteed.

That’s why I’m honored to run in support of MS-UK. Every difficult training day reminds me what a privilege it is to move, to try, and to fight for a start line.

When I make it to Berlin, I’ll be running with a lot of gratitude and for people whose strength goes far beyond marathon training.

To my friends and family donating, thank you for being part of my running journey and for supporting the charity I’m proud to run for.
