ALLISON COOK
Allison (Allie) joins team Gears 2 a Cure after having followed Nichole Taylor's posts as a crew member last year. She thought it looked like fun and made the mistake of telling Nichole and the Lorch family. She joins Team Daywalker as a driver. Allie was diagnosed with MS back in 2000, making her the 5th member of our team to be participating in RAAM all while battling Multiple Sclerosis. She is a co facilitator for the Greenville SC Self Help Group. Allison says, "Being diagnosed with MS has introduced me to some wonderful people , great situations -- and so much good has come out of it that I don't look at having MS as a bad thing!" In 2009 she was able to participate in a drug study and now uses that oral med to assist with her MS. Adjusting her sleep schedule from her regular 10 pm to 5 am to accommodate the Team Daywalker noon to midnight schedule. However she is excited to be a part of this epic event and knowing that she's helping contribute to the success of the riders. Allison would like to sit down to lunch with Itzach Perlman. She played violin for many years and loved listening to him perform. The super power she would most like to have is the ability to control the weather. That would come in very handy if she was able to ensure perfect weather conditions from start to finish. |
