Wainwright's Coast2Coast MS Walk · 30 August 2014

Over 150,000 of us in the UK have MS. It’s unpredictable and different for everyone. But it doesn’t have to be this way. We’re the MS Society. We understand what life’s like with MS. We're here for you through the highs, lows and everything in between. Together, we are strong enough to stop MS.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

15 Australian women (2 of whom have MS) will join a group of English men and women to complete Wainwright’s Coast2Coast MS walk, it's a 12 day 190 mile challenge across England from the Irish Sea at St Bees to the North Sea at Robin Hood’s Bay to raise much needed funds for vital research in finding a cure for Multiple Sclerosis.

MS is such a debilitating disease and affects over 100,000 Brition's and 23,000 Australian's (2 Million Worldwide) please join me in making a difference.

In September 2013 little Denise told me about her upcoming adventure walking 190 miles across England to raise much needed funds and awareness for MS, my initial reaction was WOW what a wonderful opportunity to help make a difference.

Each morning whilst walking our dogs I was updated on this amazing group of ladies (her old school buddies) and their challenge.  I joined them on one of their training walks, the laughter, camaraderie and support along the way was inspiring. Denise and I then completed a 13 mile walk and I started thinking.... (rarely a good thing) I just might be able to do this.

Whilst it took a while to get my head around the distance and terrain, with the encouragement of my husband (Rod) and sons (Tristan and Lachlan) I was hooked. I can't think of a better way to challenge myself (both physically and mentally) whilst raising funds and awareness for MS
