My Progress

I'm moving 50 kms this month to leave MS behind

My Progress

15 KMS

My target

50 KMS

Lets MOVE!

I've signed up for The May 50K! 

The May 50k is about hope! Together we can raise funds to accelerate global research into MS and change the lives of people living with MS today. Right now, there are over 2.8 million people living with MS and there is no cure. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease resulting in damage to myelin – the insulating covers of nerve cells - in the brain and spinal cord. Due to the area affected, the impact and so many different factors every one with MS is affected differently. A small number of people will have mild symptoms with little disability, whereas others will experience worsening symptoms that will lead to increased disability over time. 

Symptoms might include numbness, vision changes, balance and mobility difficulties, cognitive changes, physical fatigue and many more. 

Living with MS is challenging and uncertain, but with the right support and mindset the impossible is (differently) possible. 


“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning how to dance in the rain.” - Vivian Greene  


During the month of May I will be taking on 50km to help increase funding for vital MS research worldwide. My aim is to go on a daily walk with my mobility bike and log as many kilometers as possible. 


Join me for a walk, make a donation, and support my 50km challenge. 

Together we can make a difference. 

My Updates

MS is a rollercoaster ride

Not one you choose to get on

Not one you choose to share

Yet one you can not run from

And one that do not care


Its scary, its frightening, its ugly and its real

Its uncertain, unknown and a big achilles heal 


The ride is full of highs and lows

Its very fast and very slow

For those of you who share a seat

Im sorry that we had to meet


The journey is filled with anger and fears

Questions unanswered and still unknown cures


But here we are - on this rollercoaster ride

The one we cant run from the one we can not hide. 

How can I tell them “I don’t want to stay?”

How can we do this? What do we say? 


Lets make new dreams and stand up tall

Lets hold on to those who can catch us before we fall. 

Lets smile in the morning

Lets tell stories at night

Lets always keep moving

And never give up the fight

Liewe Marese, jy is diep in my hart, vanaf skooldae, langs my lessenaar. Ek lig my hoed vir jou en hoe jy hierdie moeilike pad loop of ry, met jou fietsie. Ek sien op na jou, lieflike mens.
