Myself and my partner are running the MS “walk” in September of this year! Any donation is appreciated 🧡.

Not many people are aware as I like to continue my life as if I’m ‘normal’ and make as little fuss as possible, however in January 2025 I was diagnosed with MS after years of ongoing symptoms, believing it was all in my head and fighting to be heard by doctors.

Being told you have an incurable disease at age 21 is something you’d never expect and something I would never wish upon anyone. I live my life in constant fear everyday that a relapse may be on the way. Not only that but living everyday with symptoms is not easy especially when you look “healthy” which is incredibly hard for people to understand.

I still continue to do the ‘normal’ things someone my age should do, working a full time job, socialising with family and friends ect. When diagnosed I told myself I won’t give in to MS I will fight until I cannot anymore. I watched my grandma suffer with MS I then went into a job where I cared for people everyday with MS - early stages to end stages. I still care for people who have MS and as scary as it is to see what I may end up like one day, it makes me happy knowing I can be there for them, someone who can relate and most of all make them smile during tough times.

I wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for my family, friends, partner and most of all the MS nurses at the hospital who are so supportive 🧡

Thanks for taking the time to read - I appreciate any donation little or big. Even a share to spread awareness is appreciated x

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.

Your donations will go towards life-changing MS research. Thank you!
