MY PROGRESS
I'm running 50 kms this month to leave MS behind
MY PROGRESS
11 KMS
My target
50 KMS
Not a runner, but running 50K for a future without MS
Last September, at age 30—the exact statistical average for a diagnosis—I was told I have Multiple Sclerosis (MS). To be honest, it was devastating, and I still battle with accepting this reality every single day.
MS is the "disease of a thousand faces," where the immune system attacks the central nervous system.
Why I am running (and why it’s a big deal)
If you know me, you know I am not exactly a runner, in fact, I’m more like the opposite! Taking on this distance is a huge personal challenge, but the fear of cognitive or physical decline is big for me. So being able to do this feels like a no brainer and while current treatments can help stop the disease from progressing, we still lack the science to regenerate and repair the damage already done. I am running to fund a future where healing is possible.
Why your support matters
2.9 million people worldwide (over 300,000 in Germany) live with MS.
We have treatments, but we don't have a cure. Yet.
Your donation goes directly toward prevention, better treatments, and the ultimate goal: regeneration and a cure.
I am running for my future and for everyone living with this "invisible" disease. Every contribution brings us one step closer to leaving MS behind.
Will you sponsor my 50km journey?
Thank you for standing (and running) with me! 🧡

Hi Mara, I‘m really sorry about your diagnosis. That must be devestating. And yet, I carry so much hope for you. You are such an incredible person who is making impact on so many lives. I know you probably feel the opposite from being empowered, but by taking on this challenge, you are claiming your power back. I believe in you. Let me know if you need anything, okay? I’ll be thinking of you. Go slay, queen! I’m impressed by you for standing up strong despite the scariness of it all! This requires so much strength and courage. You are so loved and good luck on your 50k this month! I know you can do it! Take it one step at a time ❤️ Love, Lilian
