2026 Sydney MS Walk Run + Roll

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 37,756 Aussies living with multiple sclerosis – THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

My why...

Saturday 11th Apr
As many of you will know, the MS cause is one very close to my heart and next Sunday, as I do every year, I'll be running 10km the morning before I have to back up and play my second game of football for the season 🤯. Mum will be on a cloud laughing at me and reminding me how sore and stupid I will be but I'm determined to do it for her, for Johnny, for Carol and for everyone else I know and don't know who have lived or are living with this insidious disease. About two years ago when Brody, myself and mum did this run, mum nearly ended up in Pyrmont Bay when her mobility scooter malfunctioned in the rain. She lost control and it started to veer towards the harbour. I had to cut her off and the haywire scooter ended up on its side along with mum causing a ridiculous scene (mum was in fits of laughter and I was in fits of rage as I'd told her it wasn't safe but she knew better!!!) 
This year, as much as her hilarity at the situation was infuriating, I'll miss her presence terribly... but it's something I want to do for her. 
There is zero pressure but if anyone has capacity to donate, it would be amazing. But understand times are tricky and I'll be doing it anyway. For mum xxx
