“My legs. Where’d they go? Please help me. Please help me find my legs.”
Every time Kayla Montgomery crosses the finish line after running a race, she endures several minutes of extreme distress as she struggles to regain feeling in both her legs.
Montgomery is one of the top young distance runners in the U.S. She also happens to have multiple sclerosis, a debilitating disease in which disrupted nerve signals in her body cause her to experience complete numbness in her legs when she runs. Only when she stops to rest and her body temperature returns to normal do her MS symptoms subside.
"It makes me feel happy, it makes me feel normal..as long as I running, everything is fine".
"I want to run as long as I can"
