Support my challenge to leave MS behind!
It all happened so quickly from receiving that first text message on a Friday morning from my beautiful, healthy 29 year old daughter to say she had some weird numb feeling in her left side. Two days later she was admitted to John Hunter Hospital for a series of tests (which she spells out in her bio), and 3 days after this on Wednesday morning the result was conclusive – MS!
In literally the blink of an eye, or in our case 5 days, your whole world changes. The worst thing about being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis is that there is no cure and with 3 times more women than men diagnosed in the prime of their life (20s – 40s mainly) more research is needed as to why this happens and find a cure so people can live the best version of their life.
My daughter Claudia is inspirational and very mentally strong with a great attitude; no time for her to be a victim to this diagnosis! I’m proud of her for jumping on the MS fundraising challenge straight away to kiss MS goodbye, and for wanting to play a part in changing the lives of everyone suffering with MS for the better.
I’m walking 50km during May to
support her and help make a difference too. Research is the key to
changing the future of MS and this can be costly.
Please support our cause by sponsoring us to help MS research; any amount helps!
My Updates
Well I’ve done it!!!!!
Hey beautiful people :)
Awesome news - drum roll please .....
Today, Saturday 22 May 2021, I have reached my 100 km walking challenge (even though I only set out to do 70km so I had something up my sleeve for next year !!) and it’s one of the most gratifying feelings ever, ever, ever!!!!! And on top of that I have also so far surpassed the amount I thought I could fundraise, that it humbles me in so many ways that people can be so supportive, so loving, so generous. I’ve always believed that what you give out to others comes back to you 10-fold so THANK YOU to all those who believed in me and encouraged me. When you need me for anything, I’m there for you :)
Wishing you all love and happiness and good health xxxxxx
Gotta also say how proud I am of my girl for running 100k given her new symptoms; no slowing this girl down! The power of the mind is amazing to keep the body going when it continually keeps throwing hurdles at you; I am so in awe of you my darling daughter!
Keep On Rockin' !!!
I would like to give a big, heatfelt thank you to Rina at Keep On Rockin' for her support in distributing these flyers I made up (see image in Gallery at bottom of page) at her local dance classes during April & May. Rina is also joining my 50k walking train as a show of support.Thank you to my Sponsors
