Rory Kandel recalls her childhood baking memories and dreams of opening a bakery. During the pandemic, she founded Rory's Bakehouse, pivoting to freeze-and-bake cookies for a more engaging customer experience. Her life turned a new corner with an MS diagnosis, reshaping her perspective on time and living. Embracing the challenges, she combines her entrepreneurial spirit with advocacy for MS, participating in events like the MS Walk. Kandel aims to expand her cookie brand to grocery stores, blending love for baking with a mission of hope and resilience.
"I guess I'll offer people cookies," she recalls writing in a Facebook post, launching Rory's Bakehouse. Quickly realizing her home oven's limitations, Rory had an epiphany.
"The experience of baking it yourself is so joyful. It's really like a hug."
"Prior to being diagnosed, I felt like I had all the time in the world, and now I feel like I have no time."
"Every day I wake up, the sun is shining. This disease is not going to kill me. It's just going to teach me new ways of living life."
