Today I have received many donations for the National MS Society Muck Fest Run! The goal was $200 and we are up to $245! You guys are awesome!!
Thank You!
The mud race that I will be participating in will be this Saturday, August 3rd at 9:00 am in Belle Isle, Detroit. Come support my mom and I as I make my way through 5 miles of filthy great obstacles...
Let's get dirty and wipe out MS!
As for the pumpkins...

Who would of thought pumpkins can basically do it all!
From this article I was inspired to make a smoothie centered around pumpkin.
Here are the ingredients:
(recipe makes two smoothies)
Ice (6-7 cubes)
Almond Milk (fill blender until the ice cubes are covered)
Almond Butter (3/4 cup)
Frozen Bananas (1.5)
Blueberries (1/2 cup)
Cinnamon (a couple shakes)
Nutmeg (a couple shakes)
Vanilla Extract (5-6 drops)
Pumpkin Puree (1 cup)
How they help the symptoms of MS:
ALMONDS
Provide brain energy to produce ATP- also a good source of protein & good fatty acids.
BLUEBERRIES
A potent anti-oxident with an anti-aging compound
PUMPKIN
Helps the cell's mitochondria get rid of toxic free radicals and produce ATP.
IN SMOOTHIE)
Helps mood, impulsivity and chronic pain! So eat up!
