Instead of letting the fear of landing up in a wheelchair or becoming bedridden, paralize me, I joined
the “Layzee Runners Running Club” and with their
help mastered my first 5 km run about a year and

On the 14th of February 2014 we organized a 5 km
MS fundraiser fun run and raised $2,150 to help
the clever people find a cure for this chronic – you
have it all the time, progressive – it gets worse
over time, incurable – doctors cannot fix it, medical condition.
But wait, there is more!
After many hours of training and much blood,
sweat and tears I completed my first BMA Mackay
Marina 21.1 km half marathon on the 1st of June
2014. I did not walk once. I ran all the way and
finished in 2 hours 22 minutes in honour of those
who have already sadly lost their ability to walk.
I guess as with everything else in life, it boils down
to attitude.
Instead of being angry or worry
about the day my legs give in, I
choose to be grateful for what I have
