My name is Melissa Castino Reid. I am a wife, mother, runner, diabetic, adjunct college English and reading instructor, native Minnesotan, and a Bus of Hope Driver.
My daughter contracted E.Coli in 2011; two strokes followed, affecting her speech and walking. I have written a journal (called the Bus of Hope,) and I have shared this story on Facebook and through personal email.

But now it’s time to share her story of recovery with a wider audience. I also am working on a book, and this blog is a start of that future book.
