IHeartHallie was founded by Hallie (Benike) Ramirez in 2005 after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.  The Lone Star Chapter of the National MS Society hosts a 5k walk fund raising event and Hallie decided to start her team.  T-Cup Designs (founded by Traci Benike) quickly branded the original design, had t-shirts printed, and the team was born!  As the team built momentum, a friend donated a second design concept to what it is today and now, 15 years later, IHeartHallie has raised more than $50,000 to the cause to find a cure to this debilitating disease!
