Support my challenge to leave MS behind!

I’m taking part in The May 50K challenge this May to raise 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.

Please make a donation and support my 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!

My Dedication

In Australia, over 25,000 people live with MS, a chronic condition that affects the nervous system. Statistically, MS is more common in women than men, with 1 in 2,500 women diagnosed compared to 1 in 5,000 men. Everyone with MS feels things differently. Some people may experince fatigue or brain fog, while others have trouble walking or seeing clearly. If you are really unlucky, people may experience all of these symptoms. Put simply, with MS the body is constantly at war with itself not being able to tell the good stuff from the not so good stuff. Whilst teatments have advanced significantly in the past 20 years and they are helping people manage these symptoms better, there is still no cure and that needs to change.
