Sarah Hanniford – Pittsburgh, PA

My name is Sarah, and I have been living with MS for over 50 years. I was determined that it would not run or ruin my life but was extremely grateful when drug therapy finally came along! I had four children to keep up with and keep me motivated to keep moving no matter how I felt, and that helped me to be determined to fight this disease anyway I could. I began taking pictures as that was the easiest medium for me to use. My husband and I moved on board a sailboat full-time five years ago, and that is where my interest in nature blossomed. I rose with the sun every day to see what I could capture with my camera and what life would bring. We come inland periodically to be with our children and grandchildren and enjoy family time. Life is good!
