Help Kelly get HSCT

Two and a half years ago I began a journey that would change my life. On January 2, 2013 I was diagnosed with Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis. In the last two and a half years I have had more than my fair share of battles. I have lost sight in my eye, lost feeling in my legs, was hospitalized for ten days, and have had more steroids than Alex Rodriguez. Multiple Sclerosis has testing my strength physically and mentally, and I believe that I have time and time again ended up on top.

I have now been given the opportunity to be a part of a clinical trial for Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) being done at Northwestern Medical in Chicago, Illinois. This procedure has, so far, been able to give people living with Multiple Sclerosis their lives back. The trial will require multiple trips to and from Chicago, which means time off work, hotels, food, and travel, so I am asking for your help. Any amount you can donate will help to propel me forward in this trial and on the road to regaining my life.

I am so looking forward to the day when I can make plans in life without having to worry that MS will stop me. I am looking even more forward to the day when I can say that I USED to have MS!

I will be documenting my journey on my blog, Multiple Screw-This .  Please feel free to join me on this amazing journey!
