- Why I'm choosing to give:
- I was diagnosed with MS two years ago at the age of 13. My life soon fell apart after my diagnoses and will do anything to try and make it better.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- I would most like to receive motion back in my leg. I am a girls ice hockey player and last year (april 2010) was not able to play in our state championship game when my MS attacked my leg. This year I have also had to take a year off from playing hockey.
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- I read the book
- About me:
- I am very positive and try my best to think about others. Even though this disease has taken away one of the most important things of my life (hockey) I want to do this challenge to overcome the pain I feel each day when I think about hockey.
- Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?
- Yes

Losing everything gaining a smile
Posted on December 16, 2010 at 7:03pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
Ever feel like life is a crashing wave that never ends, you struggle for air but the waves come so quick you just cant grasp one breathe of air. Ever feel like the most important things in your life, you push away because your afraid of losing them. My life is this constant struggle, I feel this everyday, and I cause this pain upon myself everyday because I’m scared of feeling happy and then losing it all. I don't blame my dad for this, I don't blame my mom, stepdad or brother for this…

I'm so humbled to hear of your experience. I'm not here to give the "pity party" talk. I don't know what MS feels like. I have known pain, both self-inflicted and unintentional. I've probably cheated death more times than I can count. Take everyday one day at a time and try to find one little thing to appreciate each day. Each day will get better. May you be blessed and I can't wait to hear of you using that leg again soon :)
