Be part of the story.

We all have something we can't outrun, but it MS or something else. Here's the thing we don't have to run alone. That's what this film is about... the strides we take in our lives that give us strength to keep going. 

By participating in the 'Because I Can' Virtual 5K, you are supporting a film in the making that's becoming a movement.

​When this documentary is finished, it's journey begins with a national tour and global exhibition to bring the film and its message to communities across the country and around the world... and you are invited to be part of it.

I can't run from MS, but I can run with it.
Run, walk, bike or roll with me.
