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!
My Updates
Helloooo
Monday 4th May I'm officially in my 30s and have got into running 🥲I participated my first 5km run this past weekend, and decided to make the next one really count.
For those that don't know, my mum has MS. She was diagnosed nearly 10 years ago, and has been very lucky to receive treatment and care that has made the disease manageable for her. Many others are not so lucky though.
For me, running has been a form of movement I've come back to at various stages throughout my life, mostly for the mental health benefits, but recently for the physical. I've dealt with my own ailments and injuries over the years and I've realised how important movement is for all of that. I've also realised how lucky I am to be able to move my body and be (relatively) free from pain.
So, I've decided to take part in the MS Walk, Run and Roll, with my mum in mind, and all those that are dealing with the difficulties that come with dealing with MS. Share
