Filipa is a Buddy. Since starting the role in 2019, she has learnt so much from her match. Being a Buddy isn't just about supporting someone in need of help, it's also about learning how you can grow and change as an MSer by giving back to the community.

Hope for the future doesn’t mean putting your health on hold today 💚

We believe that when it comes to living with MS, MSers are the experts in the room. So why, when innovating how MS is diagnosed, treated and managed, are MSers left out of the conversation?

Ah yes, because immune systems are famously visible from across the room🔮

Turns out "looking fine" on the outside doesn't stop your immune system from throwing an uninvited rave on your nerve pathways on the inside.

Feis day = loud halls, chaos, caffeine & overstimulation 😵‍💫💃 Exhausted, but worth it for the smiles ❤️☘️ #FeisLife

An irish dancing Feis is a long day.

Getting through when your MS is screaming at you to go home and sleep is the worst part.

Its a Feis day, which means loads of noise in a tiny room, lots of music, clicking of hard dancing shoes.

The only way for me to make it through is with my loop earplugs

Fixing the med box..

Am I the only one with such a large one

50kg leg press to make the muscles stronger.

3 years ago I couldny walk more the 5m. Today I can leg press and train for a multi event.

PPMS can get fucked. It picked the wrong bitch to mess with

Sunday prayers will be said in the gym..

Hoping for a boost of energy

The face of someone whose body has crashed.

This is the worst side of PPMS

An MS diagnosis can make you feel like the rug has been pulled out from underneath you. Suddenly, life is filled with uncertainty, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and out of control.

We’re pleased to share that we’ve received funding from @BarnwoodTrust to support people diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in Gloucestershire. This will help us reach more people and provide dedicated 1:1 support through our Buddy Network.
