Support my challenge to leave MS behind!

My name is Jenny and I’m a MS warrior. 

On 22nd December, I presented to the Medical Assessment Unit in the Bons Secours in Cork with a numb sensation on the right side of my face and felt pressure on my right eye. Originally, it was thought to be caused by a virus, but after a several Brain and Spine MRIs and a Lumbar Puncture, I received confirmation on 21st January and was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.

My symptoms worsened and I began experiencing numbness/weakness in my right arm and leg and also had a fluttering noise in my right ear.

I currently have 5 lesions on the right side of my brain.

On 23rd March, I received my first Ocrevus Subcutaneous Infusion in St Veronica’s Ward in the Bon Secours, Cork.

I am very lucky to have some very experienced and knowledgable medical experts by my side throughout this journey. My mom Val who is a practice nurse, my GP Don Creagh, my neurologist Prof Brian Sweeney and my neurology nurse Anne Grover.

I’m taking part in The May 50K. I will be taking on 150km throughout May and leaving my limits behind to increase funding for vital MS research worldwide, improve access to effective treatment and support for everyone – no matter where they live. The May 50K is one of the most important ways we can help achieve those goals.

There are over 2.8 million people living with MS and I need your help to leave MS where it belongs, behind us.

Working together across the globe, MSIF boost scientific progress to prevent, treat and stop MS. Striving for a world where everyone living with MS can access treatments.

I’ve accepted The May 50K challenge to change lives.
