NO ONE SHOULD FACE MS ALONE!

I woke up one morning in November 2024 with double vision - and after multiple MRIs, blood tests and a lumbar puncture... I was given the news that I have Multiple Sclerosis. 

All of a sudden, my world had 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, people like me living with multiple sclerosis can get access to vital support services, like MS Connect, MS Peer Support and MS Employment Support Programs. You'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!

You freaking legends. I am so grateful for everyone who has sponsored me for the MS Walk/ Run/ Roll 🙏
We are the top fundraising team in the ACT so far this year so way to go Lou's Crew! 
Your donations will help research into a cure for this awful condition , and fund vital support and resources for people like me who are living with MS. 
I have already made use of the important MS Plus Nurses and online services they provide, and it makes a huge difference, they share up to date treatment options and much needed mental health support, especially for the newly diagnosed like myself. 

A BIG THANK YOU TO MY SUPPORTERS
