As a young adult, Jacqui Kapinowski faced many hardships. Getting Bacterial Meningitis at the age of 23, and again at the age of 28, no one thought she would make it out of the hospital alive! She survived this horrific disease only to find out down the road there is more to come….

 

 
 

Seizures starting at the age of 35, as time went by Jacqui’s body started to change.  Numbness and spasms started in her legs, arms, head and neck.  Little by little her spine started going abnormal in a swayback position.  Having fluctuating severe muscle spasms, progressive stiffness, rigidity and dystonia has taken over her lower body & spine.  It took four years to diagnose that Jacqui had a rare progressive neurological disorder called Stiff Person Syndrome.  She now has to rely on her wheelchair to get around.

 

 
  Despite the hand that has been dealt over the years, she continues to compete in marathons, the grueling 26.2 miles that runners have come to love. Jacqui enjoys the challenge, loves being outdoors, loves the people, and has completed 42 marathons, half marathons, 4 triathlons, countless other races and hopefully many more to come.

 

Drinking AQUAVYBE Water daily has given her hydration and extra energy to keep her from her non stoppable goals.
