A group of girls races toward the finish line, but one girl struggles to keep her balance. Her legs start to shake, and she loses her footing, collapsing into the waiting arms of her coach. This scenario repeats itself every time she competes. Her name is Kayla Montgomery, and she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at the age of fifteen. During a soccer match, Kayla felt something was off in her legs and back, leading to her falling down. After enduring several months of medical evaluations, she discovered she had multiple sclerosis (MS). This condition disrupts communication between the brain and various parts of the body. Because MS hinders her nerves from effectively transmitting signals—especially when her body temperature rises—she loses the ability to feel the discomfort that other runners experience. Consequently, running poses a threat to her well-being, as she cannot sense her legs by the end of the race, increasing the risk of falls and injuries. Additionally, continuous running can damage her bodily tissues. At every finish line, her coach is there to catch her, while her parents apply ice to her legs to help restore her sensations. In March 2014, she achieved victory at the North Carolina state championship, and her next ambition is to claim the national title. Although she admits to fearing that her running days may be limited, she remains determined to concentrate on her current abilities. While MS lacks a cure, it won't prevent her from pursuing her passion for running.
