I'm fundraising to fight MS!
I am raising funds for MS Queensland to show my support and make an impact in the lives of people living with MS like my sister May.
Did you know:
- On average, more than 10 Australians are diagnosed with MS every week
- The average age of diagnosis is just 30 years of age.
- Three out of four Australians with MS are women
Your support will help fund essential services like physiotherapy, occupational therapy, counselling and symptom management, as well as MS research to look for better treatments and ultimately a cure for the disease.
Please DONATE to help ensure no Queenslander faces MS alone.

3 Weeks to Go
Wednesday 16th Apr Have been putting in big weekly kilometres in readiness for the challenge. I've been supported on my walks by my gorgeous pooch Bintang. We've been exploring our beautiful neighbourhood with stops for coffee and croissants as We've heard that's what you do on the Camino. Thank you to all my wonderful sponsors, I appreciate all your supportive words and donations.
CAMINO 25 FOR MAY
Tuesday 28th Jan This May I will be walking 260km from Portugal to Spain on the Camino Way. I will be hoping to raise money for MS Qld in memory of my sister May who fought this cruel disease bravely for many years. We sadly said our final goodbyes on 29th December 2024. I hope some day they find a cure, so other familes don't have to watch the sad decline of their loved ones. Please help me raising money for this worthy cause.Thank you to my Sponsors

I had the pleasure of supporting May for the last 8 years. AAYDS was built to supply May with the support she required to keep her safe and keep her quality of life, sadly May has left us but AAYDS will continue to support others in her honour. Rosemary, May will be walking with you and AAYDS will be right behind her sending you love on this wonderful journey❤️ Ally and the AAYDS family
