This week is MS Awareness week… 3 years ago this week I was at the hospital hooked into an IV getting heavy steroids to stave off a flare up. This week I went rock climbing at an indoor gym (something I hadn’t done in 2 years). How’d I do, you might ask? Not great, but I was able to climb up a wall, however I realized that my grip strength is crap and I need to work on strength training even more. LOL!

I had posted to Instagram and Facebook, that I wanted to get a plan for the auction this year. I asked if July or September worked best for attendees. I plan on announcing that date this week but I am waiting to hear back from our awesome BikeMS director because I want to get a couple questions answered. The biggest change to this year’s auction, besides the possibility of it being in September, is HOW we turn in money. We are going to be working to get Intel to match up to $5,000! So I am trying to iron out those kinks. We will also be using real tickets as well, whether through Eventbrite or another vendor.
