shawn f - Hiking for Multiple Sclerosis - Springville, UT
I was diagnosed with MS in August of 2009, a few weeks before my wedding. Any one of us that faces a disease knows the difficulty in believing and accepting a diagnosis. It was no different for me. I went through all of the bereavement stages. And when I finally stopped feeling sorry for myself I decided that I could best help myself by also helping others.
My website is: az817.org
Please follow our blog.
And so the idea for the "Big Hike" arose one day as my husband and I were hiking through the Grand Canyon, almost two years later. The Big Hike is an 817 mile hike through the Arizona Trail. Why am I doing this? Because I feel that it is not only important to raise awareness to MS but also to encourage others to embark on their own "adventures". Each one is different and just as important.
I have been very fortunate in my life and I realize that because I am blessed I can also help others.
