Manage episode 447550607 series 2940118
Brian Wallace is a former Michigan football player, who shared his incredible journey with multiple sclerosis. His story is not just about sports; it's about resilience, determination, and the power of movement, especially for those of us living with MS.
In the first of a two-part interview, Brian talked about growing up in a loving household, playing various sports, particularly hockey and football. His high school years were marked by recruitment from prestigious colleges, and he ultimately chose to play for the University of Michigan, where he had the opportunity to learn from legendary coaches like Bo Schembechler and Gary Moeller.
As we discussed his diagnosis, Brian recounted the troubling symptoms he experienced leading up to it. After finally learning he had MS, instead of feeling defeated, he felt a sense of relief. Knowing what he was up against allowed him to take control of his health and future.
Throughout our conversation, we touched on the importance of movement and how it can serve as a form of medicine. Brian's journey exemplifies the idea that even when faced with limitations, there are always ways to adapt and keep moving. His story is a testament to the belief that we can redefine our capabilities and find new ways to thrive, regardless of the challenges we face.
