Eric Lenard

I was diagnosed with MS a little more than 10 years ago in 2013 and that started my health journey. After relocating to California in 2019 and being quarantined due to COVID-19 and my immunosuppressed status, I adopted walking and running on my treadmill to stay sane. And I discovered that I really liked it! Once I started getting into running, I realized that when I was first diagnosed, I could barely walk and now I’m actually logging 25-30 miles a week! Once COVID waned and I was allowed to be around people again, I decided to take this newly found passion and turn it into something meaningful.

I am excited to run with Finish MS to challenge myself like never before, run for a great cause and most importantly, make my momma proud!

Finish MS has made a huge difference and my MS journey. It gave me confidence when I was afraid, it gave me something to focus on that is actually positive, it reminded me of how grateful I am that my body is able to run long distances and it connected me with people that are just like me that understand what it’s like to have this disease.

“You’ll never run a marathon,” said my neurologist in 2010, soon after I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The doctor was trying to convince me that I would be able to enjoy a fulfilling life with proper therapy and medication, but that I might have certain limitations. At that time, she never knew that running a marathon had been a lifelong dream of mine.
