Lets find a cure

My story has been shared countless times, and unfortunately, it’s not much different from many others living with MS. Instead of rehashing the painful moment when I was diagnosed with a degenerative disease, I choose to look ahead—with hope and determination—for the day a cure will be found. A cure that will give me freedom from the chronic: pain, muscle weakness, trouble with balance, fatigue and cognitive issues (aka brain fog) that define life with MS.

Living with MS often means suffering in silence. People may forget you're unwell because, on the outside, you look “normal.” But behind that exterior, the reality of MS can be overwhelming. It's a reminder that we shouldn't judge health based on appearances.

I’m taking part in The May 50K challenge this May to raise funds for life-changing research into multiple sclerosis!

MS strikes young people in the prime of their lives. The average age of diagnosis is only 30 years old, and there is no known cure.

Please make a donation and support my challenge to leave MS where it belongs, behind us.

Your donation will support research into the prevention, treatment and finding a cure for multiple sclerosis to change lives.

Thank you!
