most of you know that in january 2009 rianne was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. before that she would be tired all of the time and life was not easy and while it hasn't gotten easier we have found ways to alleviate several problems that come with ms. nothing has come easy and we work hard for all of the happiness that we have. our friends and especially our families have been a wonderful support system as we have gone through these great challenges and we will always be grateful. since rianne has been diagnosed, we have dedicated a part of our lives to fight against ms and have joined the thousands of people who began this fight well before us. every year there is a walk ms that has been a great experience to help fund the national multiple sclerosis society. i recently received an email about swimming for ms; i have always loved swimming and have decided to join the cause. i am writing this post for a few reasons. first, i want to thank everyone that has been a great support for us. we couldn't do it without you. second, my main goal is to bring an awareness to ms and my swimming will hopefully do that but i also would like to raise money to find a cure for ms. if you want to help and you can afford to donate, visit
this site. if you don't feel like you can afford to donate, then come swim with me. my plan is to be at the rb swimming pool m-f at 6.45 am to swim for half an hour before classes. anyone who comes to swim with me or donates will be given one of those cool, hip orange rubber bracelets to so that they can also raise awareness in a cool, hip way. hope you can join me in the fight so that together we can find a cure!!
