Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I was diagnosed with Relapse Remitting MS back in August 2014. It is an awful chronic illness which affects too many and currently has no cure. I will be leaving Malaysia in January 2017, after 20 years in Asia, to return to the UK, as the treatment for MS is very limited here. To help manage my condition best, I am only working part-time now. Rather than jetting off to a lovely beach to mark my departure from Asia, I thought I would put myself through some serious pain!
Without organisations like Overcoming MS (https://overcomingms.org) and the fantastic work that Professor Jelinek and his team does, people like me would be lost. They offer great proven, practical, compassionate advice on how we can take back our lives, without always relying on medication.
Whether I get around the course in 2 hours or 4 hours, I really do not care! This is about getting round it and hopefully raising some awareness on MS and it's impact on not just the sufferer but on their nearest and dearest.
I will be eternally grateful for whatever you can donate and if you want to contribute in a different currency, let me know.
