I am a Mother of 3 and Grandmother of 6. My friend Jan, inspired me to do this trip with her. Jan’s daughter suffers from MS, so I have made myself more understanding and aware of the symptoms, causes and treatments of what MS sufferers have to live with. Jan’s daughter is a young Mum with 2 beautiful children and has her whole life ahead. I have learnt that MS affects more young people than any other acquired chronic neurological disease. MS Australia does such important work to support the MS Community and there is much more research needed in finding a cure. How fortunate have I been in my life and now I look forward to this trek of 100kms along the Via Francigena in Tuscany in Italy, my most favourite country, at the same time support such a worthy cause as MS. Please, any donation would be greatly appreciated.
