NO ONE SHOULD FACE MS ALONE!
Can you imagine waking up one day 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!

My Story
Thursday 18th AprOn a random Monday morning in May I had a sudden loss of my vision, and that day changed my life forever.
I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, more commonly known as MS, an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. Simply put, my immune system attacks parts of my brain, spinal cord, and optic nerve. Sadly there is no cure for MS. Management of MS is only limited to helping alleviate some symptoms of MS, and to slow the progression of the disease, however these not 100% effective.
It has taken me some time to come to terms with this new diagnosis and workout what my new normal is. This has and will continue to be my toughest challenge. It has changed me, given me a new perspective on life and shown me a strength I didn’t know I was capable of.
Sharing this publicly is the next step for my journey of acceptance.

Hope that you stay positive in these hard times, I cant imagine how difficult some days might be but no matter what happens there is always hope and people are working day and night looking for a cure. They might not have one today but if there is ever a time where the future looks bright for medical breakthroughs it is now! Hope my tiny input makes a difference and my words give you a bit of strength and positivity. All the best
