My Story
My life was changed forever on that day.
At the age of 33 I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.
From that moment on, I find myself with a new life to live.
A life that chose me to carry this weight on my shoulders, a life that found me and that chose me to be the next innocent victim of MS.
Like I said many times before, I might be a victim of the very many scary symptoms of this disease, but I am not a weak victim and I am not ready to let it take my life, my mind and my future without fighting back the best way I can.
I use both science and alternative medicine to help my body.
I use flowers, nature and faith to heal my mind.
Now, with a desire to help raise funds for research and understanding the importance of talking to people about MS, I use the good days that come my way to help others.
In September 2007, the Flowers 4 MS project was created.
In October of the same year, the project was placed on the Johns Hopkins website and in April of 2008, we launched our own website.
In October of 2008, I started creating and posting videos on YouTube where I share my views and my experiences living with MS.
In November of 2009, I finally created a page on Facebook, where I update people on the latest research from all over the world and where I try to inspire with the beauty of my flowers.
In April of 2010, the Flowers4MS project became a 501 C3 Non profit Foundation!
I believe Flowers 4 MS is a wonderful tool to raise awareness of Multiple Sclerosis and the need for continued research. I hope that you enjoy the site and that I can count on your support!
