Miles for Migraine Virtual Results 2017 are in! In June, I did a virtual challenge to raise money for Miles for Migraine.

“Miles for Migraine is a registered 501(c)(3) Non-Profit with the mission of improving the lives of migraine patients and their families, raising public awareness about headache disorders, and helping find a cure for migraine. Miles for Migraine produces fun walk/run events, typically 2 mile walk and 5k and 10k race to raise money for migraine research. We also host youth camps for kids and teens impacted by migraine or other headache disorders.”

I made the goal of raising $300 for the 3 years I’ve been blogging and I’m happy to announce we met that goal and exceeded it!  Thank you to those who donated!  Migraine is terribly underfunded. Every dollar goes a long way towards fellowship programs and training new doctors as well as research. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Virtual Race                       Anytime!

 

Keep moving!  I have more race dates coming for Runnin’ for Research in which I participated last year.  I hope you are motivated to take one step at a time and with each day get a bit stronger.  As someone living with chronic migraine, I feel like one day I step forward, the next I’m knocked back down .  The most important thing is that I take that step forward again…..

Still I Rise Poem Maya Angelou – Deep Analysis

I believe she speaks to everyone in Maya Angelou’s “Still I Rise” poem. This poem exemplifies how she could touch so many in so many ways. How could her grace, confidence, determination, intelligence, and the quest for peace not handle you? She speaks to all, saying, “still I rise.” Everyone has a time, or a…
