Help People Like My Beautiful Wife Abi

Abi was diagnosed with MS in 2022 after experiencing some blurry vision. We thought it might have been something stuck in her eye, but after a bunch of scans we found out it was much more serious. Abi is lucky to have an excellent medical team, and a wonderful group of friends and family around her, and thankfully she was diagnosed before the disease had progressed very far. But many are not so lucky.

Can you imagine waking up one day suddenly unable to do the everyday things you would usually take for granted? Like not being able to see properly (or at all), unable to get out of bed, walk to the phone to call someone – anyone – or live a life without pain?

All of a sudden, your world has changed.

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic and often debilitating disease which attacks the central nervous system (the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves). It is the most common neurological disease in young adults and often attacks people at a time in their lives when they are planning families and building a career. Three out of four people living with MS are women.

With your support, we can allow people living with multiple sclerosis access to vital support services, like MS Connect, MS Peer Support and MS Employment Support Programs. We’ll also be helping bring new treatments closer to reality, investing in repairing myelin damage to restore function that has been lost for people with progressive forms of the disease.

On behalf of over 33,300 Aussies living with multiple sclerosis – THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
