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!

On the 19th April, I was diagnosed with MS after experiencing 10 days of an 'episode'.
At the time I didn't know what was going on with my body so played it off for a 5 days before finally going to ED where I was admitted to the Neuro ward and waited patiently for an MRI and Lumbar Puncture which confirmed my diagnoses, 5 days later.
Quick shout out to the Neuro Dr team at GCUH who were amazing throughout the process!
So, not knowing much about MS I did a quick crash course and I soaked up all of the information the Drs and Nurses gave me and have done reading to learn more about this disease and how it affects someone.
What I've learnt is that at the moment there is no cure for MS but there is some great treatment options to help reduce the symptoms and control the disease.
There are many people who are dedicating their lives to research to try and find a cure for MS and I want to help support them!
With that said, I am participating in The May 50K.
I will walk 50km over the month of May in support of finding a cure for MS by raising much needed funds to help continue the research.
With funds raised, Drs, professors, scientists and Co will be able to continue their research with new clinical trials and treatment plans to hopefully one day for a cure to stop this disease.

Please make a donation and support my challenge to leave MS where it belongs, behind us.

Thank you! <3
