My Progress
I'm walking 150 km this May to leave MS behind
My Progress
75 KMS
My target
150 KMS
Support my challenge to leave MS behind!
My name is Jenny and I’m a MS warrior. 🧡
On 22nd December 2025, I presented to the Medical Assessment Unit in the Bons Secours in Cork with a numb sensation on the right side of my face and felt pressure on my right eye. Originally, it was thought to be caused by a virus, but after several Brain and Spine MRIs and a Lumbar Puncture, I received confirmation on 21st January 2026 and was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.
My symptoms worsened and I began experiencing numbness/weakness in my right arm and leg and also had a fluttering noise in my right ear.
I currently have 5 lesions on the right side of my brain.
On 23rd March, I received my first Ocrevus Subcutaneous Infusion in St Veronica’s Ward in the Bon Secours, Cork.
I am very lucky to have some very experienced and knowledgable medical experts by my side throughout this journey. My mom Val who is a practice nurse, my GP Don Creagh, my neurologist Prof Brian Sweeney and my neurology nurse Anne Grover.
I’m taking part in The May 50K. I will be taking on 150km throughout May and leaving my limits behind to raise funds for life-changing research into multiple sclerosis, better access to treatments and to support people living with MS in Ireland!
There are over 10,000 people in Ireland living with multiple sclerosis. At the MS International Federation and MS Ireland, it’s our mission to leave MS where it belongs, behind us.
You can now support this work in Ireland and around the world, so I’ve accepted The May 50K challenge to change lives.
Please make a donation to support my challenge.
Thank you so much!
