2024 Sydney MS Walk Run + Roll
5KM WALK

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!

Another year, another walk!

Tuesday 9th Apr
Most may think walking is a pretty simple task… try doing it with thick bands strangling your legs, with bugs constantly crawling up and down your legs and numbing sensation from mid calf down. You know when you get pins and needles from sitting in a certain position? and when you have to get up and start moving and the pins and needles starts wearing off. Imagine being stuck in that state, and you’re pretty much walking like me!! 

Doesn’t sound very cool or appealing does it lol. I’m use to it, for now. Its doesn’t make me feel to good sometimes, but I have many friends that are doing a lot worse and are not very mobile at all. I walk for them!

This year the walk has gone from 4km to 5kms. Please think of me, and give me your well wishes because I can tell you that this is going to be a huge struggle and I do have some anxiety as to whether I will be able to make it. 

If you are in a position to donate, please donate to this great cause because this is something that doesn’t get a lot of funding, or enough exposure for MS Awareness. The changes it can make for a person is phenomenal. If you’re not in a position to donate, please share so we can get some traction and spread the love for people like me, living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
