I'm going fundracing for MS research in the delivery room! Will you help me bring encouragement to the world of MS and beyond?

My Race
I am racing in the Trifest for MS super sprint.

My Story
Hello everyone! My name is Amy Stinson. I am a wife to my wonderful, incredibly hardworking husband, Tyler. We have a beautiful 7 month old crazy and sweet German Shepherd named Bailey. She is very full of life, love and lots of doggie kisses. I am currently working as a marketing rep/office assistant, I am a licensed esthetician and recently re-certified personal trainer. I am very passionate about health and fitness. In addition to this passion, I am also very passionate about helping people which led to my decision of becoming a trainer. I look forward to further pursuing these passions and seeing where they will take me!

My Encouragement
I have always wanted to challenge myself by doing a triathlon. Having the opportunity to do this race to help support those who suffer from MS is an even greater reason and motivation to complete this challenge. The fight and will that those who suffer from MS have to go on living as best as they can, is an incredible encouragement to me.

Dedication
I dedicate my race to Lauren Sullivan and Rachelle Corley. These are two amazing women who on top of being busy wives and mothers, also suffer from MS. Their dedication to not letting this disease stop them from living the full life they want, is an inspiration to me. Mrs. Jo Rampey, who is the co-founder for Team Endurance, who has suffered from MS for the past 10 years is an inspiration to me. All of those who suffer from MS and just keep on keepin' on, are an inspiration to me.
