FUMS: Giving Multiple Sclerosis The Finger
Health & Fitness:Alternative Health
From the age of 12, Kim Toliver used exercise as a way to regain control of her weight - and also to ensure that she wasn't being micro-managed by doctors!
While studying for her Masters in Athletic Training, she began to experience strange physical symptoms which she initially wrote off. But only six months into her dream job, Kim was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.
Kim eventually recognized that CrossFit’s fitness and health concept suited her perfectly in trying to accomplish the task of being the best version of herself physically, mentally, and spiritually.
However, Kim chose not to be open about her MS, and took 12 years to fully accept her diagnosis.
Now she is a proud advocate - and FUMS’er!
