MOVE IT LAURIE

One of my favorite things to do is MOVE...

Walking,

Running,

Jumping,

& Dancing.

It doesn't matter what... I like to move it, move it!

I know that if my mom was healthy, she would always be two steps ahead of me. That's how is whole campaign started. I just wanted to help her reach the goal of one day being able to dance again. I'm not saying she used to be a "dancer", although I was told she used to strut her stuff on top of bar tables when out with her friends...

All I know is that woman wants to move more than anything. There are a whole lot of people who take mobility for granted. That's where this idea sparked. Laurie can always use motivation to keep up the diet, exercise and all the other activities we are trying out. I would like to start an on-going Facebook post series called "Keep Laurie Moving".

I would love to have people post ways that they "move" and why it is so important to them. Words of encouragement are always a great thing to hear when sometimes you can feel all alone. But Laurie is very much not alone in this, and we need to show her that.

So let's get moving and posting!

Here is the recipe I mentioned I would post from Facebook.
My mom made this earlier this week and said it was great.
And of course, like everything we post...it was extremely healthy too!

This is baked carrot cake, zucchini bread oatmeal.

How delicious does this look?

Recipe to come!

Wow, it has sure been a while since this blog has been updated. Terrible!
For those who don't know, I am in Northern Michigan for the summer so I am not able to go to appointments with my mom but we are staying in close touch.

I am still making necklaces and just uploaded some a couple of days ago.

Laurie is now going to see a massage therapist in addition to an acupuncturist and naturopath. We had our appointment with the National MS Society a couple weeks ago and we are going to start getting involved with what they are doing to "BeatMS".

My mom is going to try out their support group that tries all different methods of healing. The society also has a "Listening" program that allows MS patients who want to talk the ability to speak with another about anything. My mom loves talking on the phone and because she has MS she will be able to relate better to other people living with Multiple Sclerosis.

I will be participating in the first Muck Fest race for MS on August 3rd at Belle Isle in Detroit! It is going to be great! Check it out below and if your up for it let's do it together!

MUCK FEST!

I have also created a Facebook page exculsive to The Laurie Campaign to Beat MS. Help me keep Laurie going, write encouraging words and post photos, healthy recipes and more to the page! Thanks!
