FOR OUR CHALLENGE

The Count Down

In 3 days we will hope to be half way through the 50km.
A few coffees down, probably a change of socks, a lunch on the go and most likely one audio book completed!
To be honest I’m now a little nervous. I’m a little scared of the what ifs.
Then I reflect on this feeling and think, how relevant that is the the battle with MS.
It’s the unknown, the what if’s, the constant waking up to what next. This is what makes us stronger every day and this is what is going to push us through the 50km next Saturday.
It’s the what ifs, the unknowns that turns life into living! Xx

Saturday 31st of May - that’s the date!

One thing I’ve had to learn and learn fast (the hard way) is that if things go to plan, that’s over achieving 🤣.

With this last little hiccup, the walk date has moved from Saturday 3rd to 31st of May. 

Adapting is a very BIG step for me, listening to the body, and mums (are you completely stupid) 👋 hi mum voice in my head! 

Keep up with what we have planning in the lead up to May 31st x 

A sneaky peak

A little bit of reality… 

This might be the reality for someone with MS but that’s ok.

 Do you know why? Because we are lucky, we are lucky that there are options these days. 

The options are medications to manage symptoms, slow progression, keep things at bay as best as possible.

I’m also a very big believer of mind over matter, attitude and positivity. We all have bad days, very bad days and that’s ok! Because that’s reality and without them we wouldn’t appreciate the very best of the good days. 

So thank you for your support ❤️

Support our challenge to leave MS behind!

MF and AJ take on 50km in a day to raise 5k in May. 

On May 3rd Marissa is walking 50km to raise awareness for Multiple Sclerosis and Andrew is crazy enough to be her support crew for the day. 

This is something very close to Marissa heart and something that she is very open to share and discuss. 

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.

Marissa was diagnosed with MS at 32 years of age, just after she had Ruby her second daughter. This story is not isolated and is more common than you would know. 

Please support our challenge to leave MS where it belongs, behind us.

Your donation will support research into the prevention, treatment and finding a cure for multiple sclerosis to change lives.

Thank you!
