Just over a year ago, at the age of 26 I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. It is a life changing disease, which affects around 100,000 people in the UK, and is usually diagnosed between the ages of 20-40.

MS is the result of damage to the myelin-a protective sheath surrounding nerve fibres of the central nervous system. When myelin is damaged this interferes with messages from the brain and other parts of the body causing a wide range of symptoms including fatigue, mobility issues and problems with balance and co-ordination.  

There is currently no cure for MS. For some people. MS is characterized by periods of relapse and remission while for others it has a progressive pattern. For everyone, it makes life unpredictable.

I'm lucky enough to have an amazing partner,family and friends around me who support me everyday and I know without them I could not fight this illness.

Each year I want to complete a new goal to show that MS will not stop me living my life and my best friend Nicola is crazy enough to want to jump out of the plane with me to raise money for The MS Society.

By donating and supporting the MS SOCIETY it will help people such as myself and the millions of others effected by this terrible illness. By the continuous support and research carried out this will allow for new treatments to be developed and hopefully one day there could be a cure.
