Marie Osmond shares an inspiring message and talks about her family's experience with MS View this post on Instagram A post shared by Marie Osmond (@marieosmond) She wrote, "In the spirit of #SuperBowl Sunday, my Nephew @DavidOsmond sent me this funny video of competitors in various sports who stopped seconds before actually crossing the finish line. It was so stunning how they thought they had finished—no, they were SURE they had finished—in fact, they were already celebrating a victory but there was one important component they ignored... they got too confident and 'didn’t finish their game.'"

These competitors didn’t take into consideration there was still time on the clock or they hadn’t actually crossed the finish line. But the real winners did watch the clock and realized there was still time left and saw the finish line hadn’t been crossed yet. They continued to give their all so they could try and finish first... and they did! What a powerful life lesson this funny little video shows!"

She said, "There are so many examples in life of people who simply did not give up. My brother Alan, his son, and my nephew David who sent the video all have MS (multiple sclerosis). It’s a huge struggle, but they never give up. Instead, they use this motto every single day of their lives for a positive remembrance to find strength in their daily challenges: 'I may have MS, but MS does not have me!' Isn’t that the best example of what you should do when life hands you hard things?" David and Marie Osmond / JC Olivera/WireImage/Getty Images Sadly, David was diagnosed with MS at the young age of 26 years old. This was years after his father, Alan was diagnosed. David opened up about the first signs of his MS. He said, "I took my shoes off and I turned to my girlfriend. I said, 'My feet feel like they’re being run over by a steamroller.' Within a few weeks, that crushing feeling progressed up my legs. It was all the way up to my chest within a few months."
