My MS journey stared in early 2018. I returned from Amsterdam with some serious spinney head (originally thought to be an insanely bad hangover). This vertigo got progressively worse and I was bed bound for almost two months. When my world finally stopped spinning on all axes I went completely back to normal and prayed to god that the vertigo I had experienced would never come back. Unfortunately two months later it came back again with a vengeance which is when my wonderful Doctor at New Forest Medical group booked me in for an MRI scan!

In December 2018 I was diagnosed with MS (not the best Christmas present I've ever received but I was relieved to have an answer). I started Tysabri infusions almost straight away and I haven't relapsed since (touch wood and cross keys). I am happy, healthy and fully mobile, however, unfortunately for some people this is sadly not the case. I truly believe that we will find a cure for MS within my lifetime but it will only happen if we invest money in research and drug development. I will be walking 20K with my sister Cassie and best friend Eleanor and we would very much appreciate your donations. We will do our best to resist the temptation to stop for wine along the way!  Any money raised will go directly to the MS Society so that we can #findacure.

Thank you so much - Lots of Love

What is MS?

MS is an unpredictable and incurable condition that affects people's nervous systems. It can attack suddenly or progress steadily, bringing a range of symptoms which can include sight loss, incontinence, fatigue and mobility problems. No-one with MS can be sure when or how it will affect them next.

The MS Society

Here at the MS Society we understand what life's like with MS. And together we are stronger. We're researching, writing, campaigning and fighting. Running, walking, caring and talking.

Support the team 

Our team of MS Society superstars are hoping to raise over £80,000 for people affected by MS. This could help fund vital research into the causes of MS and possible treatments. It could keep the helpline open, answering the calls of those looking for advice and support. It could fund grants, our online forum, informational materials and much more. Let's stop MS together
