“My biggest victory to date came after finding out that I had Multiple Sclerosis in 2001. I was able to finish an 80-mile bicycle race a year after discovering that I had this disease. It took me 18 hours to finish this race, and when I arrived at the finish line, there was no longer anybody there. Even with that, I did not despair. I knew that I had found a way to battle Multiple Sclerosis.”
