2024 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 story

Thursday 4th Apr
In 2009 my world was rocked by my MS diagnosis. No one saw that coming. I didn’t understand what it meant for my future and I was afraid. 
Now I am better informed, am clearer about my strength and thankful for my determination and resilience. I am determined to ensure a diagnosis doesn’t define me. What’s ahead for me is unclear, but each day I am thankful to my support crew. My precious family and my friends. They give me strength and cheer me on. 
Together we can make a difference and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and donation (no matter how big or small…every cent is treasured).

Sam I have just had an Irish friend staying from London with MS, diagnosed 25 year's ago. She is strong, positive and an inspiration just like you. She is now in a wheel chair but nothing stops her. Recently she toured with her husband around Europe. Stay positive and determined. I admire your courage and positive attitude Sam. If you would like yo meet Philomena she will be back staying with us for a few days on the 20th with her husband. Sending you lots of love and if you need anyone extra on your walking team I am in. Love Vivienne
