Help Martha "Antina" raise money

Hello there,

Thank you for visiting my page. I am excited to join Miles for Migraine this year. I hope you can join me on this journey. I am most excited about meeting people who also live with a chronic and complex neurological disorder. I believe they are the ones that deeply understand what I go through. We as people need to stop the stigma that, "It's just a headache!" There are times when I become weak, feel pain that is indescribable, feel exhausted (mentally & physically), and get triggered by everyday smells, noises, or outside & indoor lightning. I've been coping with headaches and migraines for about 26 years now. My mom is one of my biggest supporters. Thanks, mom! We have seen many different Neurologists and other specialists throughout these 26 years. Thanks to my mom for finding a migraine clinic at Northwestern, and the best Neurologist we have seen thus far, I am finally experiencing less than 30+ headache/migraine attacks per month. Dr. Leah Wargolet is very attentive, patient, and caring. I have never had a provider like her. We are still working together to find the best treatment to continue lowering the number of attacks I experience per month. Dr. Leah Wargolet refuses to give up on me! I have had some moments of being depressed, unable to spend time with family and friends, staying in the dark all day, and praying for God to take the pain away. I struggled, yes, but like my team name, I am not easily broken. Because of the strong support system I have, I keep pushing forward, optimistically, because a positive outlook can no longer bring you down. I hope to reach my donation goal to go toward clinical research to find more effective treatments to approve the quality of life for people such as myself. I Hope you can contribute to this amazing cause and I hope to see you at the walk.
