This year, Ashley Kumlien, will be running across the U.S. to raise money and awareness of MS. MS Run The US is a website all about raising awareness and donations towards the fight and cure of Multiple Sclerosis. Ashley’s mother has been battling MS for over 26 years and this run is a tribute to her fight and all those like her that are battling this disease. Ashley is going to run 20 – 30 miles A DAY, 6 days a week for 6 months. Wow. Along the way, she is coming through Denver and I may be lucky enough to run with her when she does. She should be here sometime in the beginning of June and she has asked me if I would run with her when she does. Check out her website at http://www.msruntheus.com/index.html and see what an amazing lady she is. I’m sure she get’s it from her mother.
Wow, that was so inspiring. I hope many people out their will try and join her in that campaign. Keep posting!
I THINK YOU SHOULD DO THIS TO HELP YOUR MOTHER IT MUST BE SAD KNOWING THAT ANY DAY YOUR MOM MIGHT NOT MAKE IT. SO YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY DO IT.
SINCERELY,

YEAH WHAT BRIAN SAID
This is awesome. I was diagnosed in 1987 and just started running 2 years ago. There were a lot of days in between that I couldn’t walk, much less run. Over the years, lots of friends have walked or run to raise money for MS in my name, and the idea that I can now do that as well is really exciting.
Thanks for posting about Ashley-her closest city will be Pittsburgh in the fall, but I’m going to try to make it up there!
Keep posting!
