Registration is now open for the Move Over MSA Virtual Fun Run and I hope you will consider joining me in running this virtual race as we raise funds for the Multiple System Atrophy Coalition! The Move Over MSA Virtual Fun Run will take place on October 8th!

Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a combination of symptoms that affect both the autonomic nervous system (the part of the nervous system that controls involuntary action such as blood pressure or digestion) and movement. The symptoms reflect the progressive loss of function and death of different types of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. MSA is a rare disease, affecting potentially 15,000 to 50,000 Americans, including men and women and all racial groups.

Move Over MSA was started by the family of Kurt Williams who bravely battled MSA. They created Move Over MSA to help raise funds toward finding a cure for MSA.

My own father has been battling Multiple System Atrophy so running this virtual run is very personal to me and my family and we’d be honored if you’d consider joining in on the fun. The beauty of the race, you can run/walk from wherever you call home and know that you are doing good in the world with each step hopefully getting us closer to finding a cure for Multiple System Atrophy.
