Since being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, I have completed four half marathons and two full marathons. I even managed to complete the Ride London 100 mile road cycling course in a respectable 6h 6min. I am following the 7-step OMS lifestyle programme since 2017 and I have never been healthier or more at ease with my life considering I am living with a chronic degenerative illness.  

OMS has helped me to beat the depression and anxiety the diagnosis of MS initially brought to my life and I have been able to meet many friends and like-minded people over the years. 

I am now the OMS Ambassador for West Hertfordshire and love to help other people with MS newly or long diagnosed to support and help each other.

I owe OMS... big time... without them I couldn't imagine where I would be - certainly not preparing for my third marathon!

Please give generously,  every little helps - thank you!

Overcoming MS is a charity established to promote a positive lifestyle programme that aims to help people with MS live long, healthy lives. OMS are committed to improving the lives of people with MS by providing the tools to enable recovery. Overcoming MS...is possible.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.  They also make “Gift Aid” easy - you don’t have to do anything other than confirm you’re a UK tax payer and meet a couple of other criteria. Overcoming MS will then be able to claim an additional 25% back from the government. In other words £10 can turn into £12.50 with Gift Aid.
