2025 Melbourne 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 33,300 Aussies living with multiple sclerosis – THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

My journey

Thursday 24th Apr
Hi all. 
I'm kirby, a 30yr old wife and mother of one. 
Last year I woke one morning to numbness in both my legs and faced difficulty walking. 
After many more symptoms coming on rather quickly, including exhaustion, loss of muscle strength and loss of coordination I was set on my path to find some answers. 
After multiple scans, Blood tests and a lumbar puncture it was determined I had MS! 
I am now on the road to treatment and finding out more about this disease I will live with for the rest of my life. 

Your donation will go to helping research and treatment of this disease which myself and many other Australians rely on to live a normal life. 

A BIG THANK YOU TO MY SUPPORTERS
