My sister Kate has long been my inspiration for going with the flow, rolling with the punches, and shouting out “whoo hoo” all along the way. And 7 years ago, when she was was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, was no different. Not only did she accept it from the get go, she took the matter into her own hands and made it her mission to raise money in support of stopping MS in its tracks, restoring lost function, and ultimately ending MS forever. Fortunately she feels great in body and spirit, and once again will use her good health and energy next month – for the 6th year in a row – to ride 150+ miles in the 30th Annual Bike MS: Waves to Wine, September 21-22, 2013. And I get to go spend that weekend in SF with her awesome kids so that her sweet husband can cheer her on along the way! 🙂

Kate’s courage and sunny disposition are constant reminders to me that only by facing and embracing everything on our journey will we find the true path to wholeness and freedom.

I’d love to hear who in your life inspires and encourages you to remember what’s most important in the precious time that we’re here on the planet together…

And of course, if you’d like to join me in supporting Kate on her ride to erase MS, you can do so right here ?
