Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page.

I’ve been inspired to raise money for the MS Trust by my girlfriend Chloe, who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of MS in November last year.

Chloe woke up one morning confused, struggling to speak or keep her train of thought. The doctors thought she might have had a stroke, and they admitted her to hospital for tests. In the coming weeks while we waited for answers, Chloe continued to get worse. She completely lost the ability to move her left arm and leg. She experienced double vision, pain, numbness and fatigue. It was an incredibly frightening time for us both.

After a month of waiting, Chloe was diagnosed with relapsing remitting MS - a lifelong autoimmune condition that causes the bodies’ natural defences to attack its own nervous system. A condition which has no known cause, and no cure. A condition which can affect anyone, at any age.

Chloe is much stronger now, but her battle, and the battle of everyone with MS, will last her entire lifetime.

Everything I now know about MS is the result of the MS Trust. Doctors and Nurses within the NHS refer me to their services every time I want to know about symptoms or treatments, or for support - someone to talk to, seminars, or events to meet other people going through the same as us.

It is an incredible charity doing incredible work and I hope you can support them by donating to or sharing this page, so that together we can improve the lives of people living with MS.
