I AM TREKKING THE SOUTHERN ALPS IN NZ TO FIGHT MS! PLEASE DONATE IF YOU ARE ABLE.

Multiple sclerosis is the most common disease of the central nervous system and it strikes young people in the prime of their lives.

There is currently no known cure.

It's quite staggering that multiple sclerosis affects more young people than any other neurological condition, with the average age of diagnosis just 30 years old. Every case of multiple sclerosis is unique – the symptoms, severity and progress of the disease are different for everyone.

So I’m trekking the awe-inspiring landscapes, native bushland and expansive plains, canyons, countryside and coast of Aotearoa, New Zealand’s scenic South Island, to raise funds to deliver essential MS support services and ensure no one faces MS alone.

Please DONATE now to support my trek and give hope to thousands of Australians living with multiple sclerosis.

Thank you for your support.

Blue Mountains - October 2023

Sunday 12th Nov

Hi there, I have committed to raising $3000 as volunteer for the 'Do it for MS' charity. A charity which deliver essential Multiple Sclerosis support services and ensure no one faces MS alone. Separate to raising these funds for the charity, a friend and I will trek the Southern Alps of NZ in April 2024 (for our own funds).

If you are able to, please DONATE to MS here and give hope to thousands of Australians living with multiple sclerosis. On this site, I'll keep you posted on my hikes to prepare for the big trek in New Zealand in April next year. You can also see how the fund raising is going ... got a long way to go still but with your help everything is possible ;-)

Thank you for your support.

Jervis Bay National Park - August 2023

Sunday 12th Nov

Thank you for supporting MS if you are able. I did a practice hike from Calala Bay into Jervis Bay National Park to practice for my big charity walk next year to support Multiple Sclerosis sufferers in Australia. We started from Calala Bay which is a really pretty bay 2 hours south of Sydney and walked along the sand to Red Point. However, I need to find some hills in order to get my fitness up so I can climb the Southern Alps in NZ in April to raise funds for MS. Thanks for reading.

The Royal National Park - July 2023

Sunday 12th Nov

To support MS and practice for the big hike in NZ next year, I went for a practice hike in the wonderful Royal National Park just south of Sydney. Its a pristine environment and we saw a seal and dolphins on the way. It's got steep headlands and incredible vistas. We also got a swim in which was chilly but well worth it! :-)

Please donate if you can - EOFY is here!
