Susan Simmons On Multiple Sclerosis Motivation

She writes about her motivation here:
I’ve often wondered if I would do less than I do if I didn’t have Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Swimming across the Strait of Georgia is definitely one of those things I agreed to do that leaves me wondering where my motivation comes from.
In the spring of 2011 a good friend of mine, Karen, asked if I would join her and two other women (Jennifer and Rhonda; both from Kelowna) in a swim across the Strait of Georgia, a body of water between Vancouver’s mainland and Vancouver Island. We would form an all women’s relay: the Georgia Girls. The Georgia Strait is a 35 kilometre crossing in 15ºC waters. With each relay swimmer changing each hour, the crossing can take between 9 and 12 hours. My portion of the swim: 3 swims between 3 and 4 kilometres each.
