In May, I will be walking, cross-training & swimming 80+ miles for The MS Trust, a charity very close to my heart. With my own health issues, this will be a great challenge for me but it’s for a very worthy cause.

In July 2023, my sister was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). After experiencing multiple symptoms for a while; scans and investigations finally confirmed a diagnosis. She started 6-monthly IV infusions in February 2024 in attempt to slow the disease progression down and hopefully help to reduce the frequency of relapses… However, there is no cure for MS and how the future might look for my sister and many others facing a diagnosis of MS, remains uncertain.

The MS Trust provides essential support and resources for individuals facing MS, from the moment of diagnosis and throughout their journey; from providing vital information during a confusing and overwhelming time, to funding and educating MS Health Professionals. They also help to fund much needed research which could potentially lead to a life changing discovery for those facing a diagnosis of MS. How amazing it would be, if a cure could be found…

Your support will go a long way in making a positive difference to help ensure people don’t face MS alone.

Thank you.
