More than 130,000 people live with MS in the UK, including an estimated 5,000 people in Northern Ireland

A marathon runner with multiple sclerosis has backed a campaign to educate the public on living with the condition.

"While being told you have MS is hardly ideal, it did at least explain the issues I had and it has driven me on to actually do more and more and to turn my life around. "I think that when my health was in question I took that as a challenge to be positive, so I've tried to get healthier, fitter and happier.

"I'll hold my wife's hand in public, I'll always pick up my kids when they ask. I just don't want to miss an experience." "We know that MS can be painful and relentless, but it can also be hopeful and transformative for some people. Through £MSMakesMe we want to show that no two people's MS is the same and that it can impact everyone differently.
