In 2012, I was a few months int training for my first marathon, I started to develop symptoms of the Autoimmune Disease, SLE Lupus. I was soon diagnosed and was unable to run for years. But, I was determined to get back out there. I focused on nutrition and mindset, and over 9 months, I was able to go into remission and get off all my medication. Now, a decade later, I want to join this run, to show myself and others that you can have a full life after being diagnosed with an Autoimmune Disease. - and help others along the way! Because helping others, especially the next generation, have more opportunities to live a healthier lifestyle is worth running 26.2 miles! - Christine @christine.in.remission
