2026 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 37,756 Aussies living with multiple sclerosis – THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Becky's story

Monday 13th Apr

I’ve been living with MS for just over a year now, and I wanted to share a little of my story as we get ready to walk together.

About a week before my wedding in Feb 2025, I noticed my vision changing. Things started to look cut in half, and myself and others brushed it off as nerves and thought it would be fine. By my wedding day, I had full double vision. I still had the most incredible day, and I even joked that I got to see 'two of my beautiful husband' 😅 But underneath it all, I was petrified... absolutely terrified because I didn’t understand what was happening to my body.

The next day, everything changed. The right side of my body became paralysed, my vision worsened, and I was rushed to hospital. What followed were CT scans, MRIs, and weeks of uncertainty that felt endless. I even returned to work as a teacher with severe double vision, trying to keep going while not knowing what was wrong, held together by the incredible support of my family, students and colleagues.

Eventually, I was diagnosed with MS.

Looking back, it still feels surreal how quickly life changed.

Fast forward to now, I have my beautiful baby girl Elsie, my vision has improved, and I’ve just started my first MS treatment recently. It hasn’t been easy, but it has shaped me in ways I never expected.

So I’m walking this year with a full heart. For hope, for awareness, and for every person sitting in that place of uncertainty just like I was. It’s quite staggering to think that there are over 37,756 Australians living with MS. It is a lifelong disease for which there is no known cause or cure.

Let’s walk, let’s talk, and let’s beat MS, because nobody should have to go through this alone. ❤️
