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!

My Updates

5.5 years down of a lifetime battle

Friday 28th Mar
I was diagnosed with MS December 4th
2019 10 days after turning 26 years old.
September 23 2022 my diagnosis worsened as we had found multiple new MS lesions
on my brain, brain stem and spinal chord,
Along with that i was discovered to have the JC Virus of the brain. Which triggered a
strong change in my infusion treatments.
The MS is trying to slow me down and yes it does some days. Everyday I put up with
severe pain, numbness and fatigue. My biggest battle is currently battling the mental health side of this disease.
Living life, working and been fortunate to
have loved ones around me will always win. 
My daily and lifetime battles with MS. The
MS iS my medical story. It won't be my life
story. Thanks for reading, Sam

Thinking of you and the difficult battle you are fighting so bravely. Thinking about you in high school also brings a smile to my face, having your cheerful face and energy around in back then definitely made it a little less shit for me. xo
