Samantha Harkey was our daughter, sister, granddaughter, and friend. She was a bright light in the world, full of fun, laughter, and love. She loved her family, loved her friends, loved to dance, loved movies (especially superhero ones) and just loved to LIVE!

In 2014, our Samantha was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. After years of battling medical issues - tremors, extreme body aches, depression, anxiety, and a weakened immune system - without a diagnosis, we finally had one. It was a scary diagnosis, but Samantha was determined to fight and to live her life to the fullest. She told her mom "to not get upset or cry because that meant the Doctors finally found out what was wrong". She took each step of her diagnosis and treatments like a champ! There was always a smile on her face or a thumbs up in her pictures. She was going to beat this.

Part of Samantha's fight was to raise MS Awareness. She couldn't understand why MS didn't have a public face and people didn't talk about the disease. So you could always find her talking to friends, other patients, or even strangers about MS.

In January of 2016, we received the worst call you could ever get. At the young age of 23, Samantha had suddenly passed away. After months of waiting to get the cause, we found out that it was due to complications of MS. Her weakened immunity system couldn't keep up. Our bright light dimmed and our family had to learn a new normal without our beloved Samantha.

Through our pain and grief, we made a promise - NO MORE! No more young people burdened with this grave disease. No more families ravaged through loss. We will fight to find a cure! We will fight to see the end of MS! In Samantha's memory, we formed Samantha's Superheroes, a MS Walk Team, dedicated to raising funds for the fight against MS. Come with us, join our fight, as we take on the challenge of ridding the world of MS!

Thank you for your support!
