“MSAA has supported me with hope that so much more is attainable despite the MS diagnosis.” Completing a 10k endurance event last year wasn’t enough for #TeamMSAA participant Tiffany McCahill. She’s doing it again, but this time raising the bar and taking on the half marathon at the 2024 Walt Disney World® Marathon Weekend! We asked Tiffany about her journey with MS, why she chose to run for Team MSAA, and much, much more.
