NO ONE SHOULD FACE MS ALONE!
Can you imagine waking up one day unable to do the everyday things you would usually take for granted? Like not being able to see properly (or at all), unable to get out of bed, walk to the phone to call someone – anyone – or live a life without pain?
All of a sudden, your world has changed.
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic and often debilitating disease which attacks the central nervous system (the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves). It is the most common neurological disease in young adults and often attacks people at a time in their lives when they are planning families and building a career. Three out of four people living with MS are women.
With your support, we can allow people living with multiple sclerosis access to vital support services, like MS Connect, MS Peer Support and MS Employment Support Programs. We’ll also be helping bring new treatments closer to reality, investing in repairing myelin damage to restore function that has been lost for people with progressive forms of the disease.
On behalf of over 25,000 Aussies living with multiple sclerosis – THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Wednesday 10th AugJust to satisfy peoples general curiosity about my bike riding exploits.
I’ve been a U3A leisure bike riding group the last few years, doing about 15k’s on every Friday ride; with a coffee/cake break along the way.
The last few weeks I’ve been doing an extra ride or two each week, so far I’ve tallied about 130k’s.
Last week I achieved a 30k ride in one ‘sitting’, this took me about 2 hours; with some what ‘rubbery’ pins at the end. But all recovered well by the next morning.
Don’t know if I can get a picture at the top of ‘the Bridge’ but I’ll let you know.
(P.S. when Andrew {son}, Ali {daughter-in-law} & her Dad {Bruce} did the ‘Gong’ ride in Sydney they got some great photos on the south coast ‘Sea Bridge’.) So I’m hopeful. :-)
20th August; did another training ride along Peninsula Link trail today; felt better after this 35 k's than previous rides.
