Running for a day without a headache

Since there aren’t many good treatments, migraine sufferers all deal with their headaches in different ways. Exercise and a very strict diet help keep Lauren and her father’s migraines under control—but Lauren still can’t remember a day without a headache.

For her birthday, Lauren decided to run for migraine research. Instead of presents, dinners, or drinks, she wanted her loved ones to donate to MRF to help put an end to the disease that she, her father, and her grandmother all suffer from.

Lauren successfully completed the Baltimore Run Festival Half Marathon (with a headache!) while doing just that, and she continues to support MRF to this day.
