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!

Friday 11th Apr

At the young age of 20 I was diagnosed with MS. 

This day is still so raw, I was horrified, scared and in disbelief. 

All I could think was why me, this is so unfair and the thought of being in a wheelchair was mind blowing. 

I have been very protective whom I have allowed to know my diagnosis. 

I was embarrassed, I didn’t want pity and didn’t want to be looked at different to other ‘normal’ people. 

With age, experience and knowledge now on my side I have been more excepting. 

MS is not a death sentence or nor does it mean you will end up in a wheelchair. 

This year is the first time I have decided to get my friends and family on the bandwagon to help and support people with MS. 

In reflection I wish I had been doing this for many years but I have learnt better now than never!

A BIG THANK YOU TO MY SUPPORTERS
