Introductory Post

Well, here is my attempt at a blog.

The main reason for this blog is my fundraising. My mother has had multiple sclerosis ever since I was 10 years old. A few years ago, her condition exacerbated and left her disabled. Since then, my father has developed peripheral neuropathy, and my grandmother has developed an advanced case of Alzheimer's disease. Multiple sclerosis, peripheral neuropathy, and possibly Alzheimer's disease, are all autoimmune diseases. I have chosen to run as a means of raising funds and awareness to support the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association (AARDA).
