"Receiving this diagnosis was devastating but it has truly showed me just how strong I could be. 

It made me all the more thankful for my amazing support system of family and friends. It’s made me step completely out of my comfort zone and share my journey in hopes of helping other people and spreading awareness. 

It’s put me into rooms with amazing organizations that are supporting my advocacy work. It’s opened up doors to work with the Emerging Leaders Board for the National MS Society and participate in campaigns for We Are ILL and Rush Medical Center!

I used to ask 'why' a lot in the beginning. All I wanted to do was understand why this was happening to me. I am slowly realizing that MS didn’t happen to me, but for me. It’s putting me on a different path that God is clearly showing me I am supposed to be on." — Bri Pearson.
