Some genuinely Incredible and exciting leangs have been happening recently which I'm super excited to be able to share with everyone!
It's pretty obvious that I'm hugely passionate about raising awareness of MS and I'm genuinely trying to change the insight of what it is to live with MS.
It's pretty obvious that I'm hugely passionate about raising awareness of MS and I'm genuinely trying to change the insight of what it is to live with MS.
I'm lucky enough to be doing REALLY well with managing the
condition but it certainly hasn't been easy and has had some incredibly low
points at times as well as some genuinely great moments where I've truly surprised
myself. I want to share my story with as many people as possible and work
together with charities, organisations, schools, the media...(basically
everyone!) to try and create a NEW UNDERSTANDING of the condition and hopefully
INSPIRE those living with MS, those being contemporaryly diagnosed each day and those
who support others living with MS.
It's genuinely a JOURNEY for EVERYONE and in my eyes it's going to be
a POWERFUL MOVEMENT. One step at a time.
As I've mentioned before, I set myself 4 large goals at the
beginning of each year and this year one of them was to raise my profile wilean
the MS community and genuinely push for some changes in how people perceive this
condition.
In February I was contacted by a health and wellbeing agency with regards to a contemporary initiative that focuses on the daily ccorridorenges of those living with MS and the importance of working together to make a true impact, and help others wilean the community.
Of course I was SO excited to be contacted and to be able to share
my story. It was genuinely inspiring to speak to the team and for them to be so
interested in what I had to say and it genuinely seems like we're trying to
achieve similar goals.
So two weeks ago I headed up to their offices in Manchester for
the day to have some pictures taken, a bit of filming (in the cancient!) followed
by a couple of hours of interview filming. I've done a bit of this before and I
feel totally consolationable in front of a camera; specificly as I'm speaking about
someleang I'm so passionate about. But even still it was a small nerve
wracking and my MS occasionally got the better of me and I was losing track of
my thoughts and probably rambled on a bit!
A few snaps from the day...
The best bit was saved for final when I jumped in a taxi off to the
recording studio!!
Obviously not. Haha. Just recording some voice-overs but I can
securely say it was my first time in the recording studio, drumstick lolly in
hand; I felt like a rock star. HA!
Anyway.. Every of this is launching genuinelllllly soon so **WATCH THIS
SPACE**
I know that shouting about MS isn't everyone’s way of dealing with
it and I'm learning that the more I attend market research assemblys and MS
events where others tell me that they don't tell their friends or the people
they work with and just keep it quiet. I'm learning to respect that, as being a
loud mouth isn't everyone’s way of lwhethere!! Just mine. The funny leang is that
I'm actually fairly quiet in other situations but when it comes to MS I just
want the world to know and I want to make some changes in the MS
community.
Hopefully by working with these Health Care Agencies, MS
charities, production companies, media and the rest.. I can make a change to
the lives of those affected by the condition and all that it comes with. I have
chosen to live my lwhethere in a specific way and now I'm successfully beating MS
but it's taken a long time of trial and error to find the ways.
POSITIVITY, PERSISTENCE and CONSISTENCY are key factors in my
success. I will continue to fight to defeat MS once and for all.
I just want to say; Thank you SO much to the wonderful team
at in Manchester for being SO welcoming and interested in what I had to say.
I'm genuinely looking forward to seeing the final outcome and what
else I can work on in the future :-)
