IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Local Grad to Walk for a Cure

Voted as Miss Kings Park Pride, class of 2011 grad, Lauren Serzanin says she has too many goals to be held back.

Lauren Serzanin was in junior high when out of the blue, her legs went numb. Doctors couldn’t put their finger on what was happening. It was a year later, when it happened again in her face and hands when doctors gave the teen the news that she had Multiple Sclerosis.

An MRI on her brain revealed 15 lesions, but doctors said Serzanin’s case was mild.

“At first I was blowing it off,” said Serzanin, a 2011 grad of Kings Park High School. “It was something I was ignoring, but my dad convinced me that it was something I was going to need to accept.”
