Support my challenge to leave MS behind!
I’m taking on The May 50K for my husband, Yianni.
In 2013, at just 40 years old, Yianni was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PPMS)... Since then, we’ve faced the challenges of this disease together, but one thing remains constant... hope. 🧡
That’s why this May, I’m walking 50km to raise funds for MS Research Australia... to help fund vital research that can improve treatments, change lives, and one day, find a cure.
Every step I take is for Yianni and for everyone affected by MS... I’d love your support—whether it’s a donation, sharing this page, or joining me for a walk. Every little bit helps! 🧡
Thank you for being part of this journey with me.

Getting Ready to Step Up This May – With a Little Help From Koukla 🐾s
Meet my walking buddy, Koukla...golden retriever, trail explorer and tail-wagging ambassador for MS awareness. 🐶✨
We’ve been hitting the trails around Adelaide this April, getting in some practice before the official challenge kicks off on 1 May. These aren’t part of the official 50km just yet… but they’re helping us build momentum, get moving, and spread the word about the importance of MS research.
The golden hour walks, the dusty tracks, and this sweet pup’s enthusiasm remind me why I signed up for The May 50K: to make a difference. 💛
I’m walking for my husband Yianni, who has been living with MS since 2013...and for the 33,000+ Australians who face this disease every day. Your support, encouragement and donations fuel every step.
🧡 The big walk is coming.
🧡 Every dollar counts.
🧡 And we’re just getting started.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
Love from
Niki & Koukla

Getting Ready for the May 50K with Koukla! 🐾🚶♀️
After that ridiculous heatwave in Adelaide, today was finally the perfect day to stretch our legs at Jo Gapper Park! Koukla and I tackled a steep incline up to the lookout... well, I tackled it... she cruised along like a pro. 😄
This is all part of my prep for the May 50K challenge... every step counts, and every donation makes a difference. 🧡
Got any suggestions for fun walking spots before May?
