Support my challenge to leave MS behind!

I’m back for my 4^th year proving to myself that MS stands for MADE STRONG.

I’m also coming up to my 4-year anniversary of the diagnosis that shook my life up!

31^st October 2021 - woke up with numbness down one side of my head & face which just kept creeping down my body over the next few days. Numbness turned into muscle weakness & sensory issues, turned into visual issues & speech issues, turned into extreme mood changes. A total central nervous system fire storm. This was the scariest 6 weeks of my life to date.

It is one hell of an unrelenting disease to navigate, and no two people living with it will experience the same set of disturbing symptoms making it a unique disease to manage.  

I do the May 50k every year for all those who can’t and raise vital funds for life-changing research into multiple sclerosis.

MS strikes young people in the prime of their lives. The average age of diagnosis is only 30 years old, and there is no known cure. That’s what I would love to see change!

I clearly love to challenge myself (lol!) as each year I have continued to increase the distance I need to complete in the month. This year I am choosing to move 250kms, walking, running & bike riding.

Your support means the world to so many people.
