📍 Port Moody, British Columbia
🧡 MS Walk Vancouver 2026 — May 31, 2026

On May 31st, I’ll be walking at the MS Walk Vancouver ( In Port Moody ) and I want to build a team that stands for more than awareness alone.  You do not need to donate to register and walk! Times are tough and your support still matters! 

Team : The Access Alliance 
https://msspwalk.donordrive.com/teams/18041

I’m inviting:
🧡 People living with MS
🧡 Caregivers and families
🧡 Friends and supporters
🧡 Healthcare workers
🧡 Elected officials and community leaders

Let’s build a team that can not be ignored! 
I’ll be walking no matter what and I hope many will join me! 

Because this walk means more than most people realize here in British Columbia.
MS awareness is not just about a walk.
It’s about access to treatment.
It’s about protecting vision, mobility, independence, and quality of life.

It’s about recognizing that no two people experience MS the same way.
It affects families, relationships, careers, mental health, and everyday life in ways many never see.

And here in BC, we know the conversation around MS care needs to move forward on many levels.

Almost 10 years ago, Multiple Sclerosis began attacking my optic nerves relentlessly.

It was terrifying.
I was a young mother trying to raise children while living through repeated vision loss, pain, fear, uncertainty, and the reality that I could permanently lose parts of my sight. Every new attack carried the fear of what would be taken next. 

We fought hard to protect what vision I had left.

It took time, permanent damage, setbacks, fear, and uncertainty before starting a therapy that stabilized my disease, protected my remaining vision, and slowed progression. That stability did not come easily. It came after trauma, loss, and years of learning how devastating MS can truly be.

And now, nearly a decade later, after almost 10 years of stability on the therapy that helped save my sight, I’ve lost access to it.
For the past 7 months, I’ve been fighting again.

Fighting for appeals. 
Fighting through policy barriers. 
Fighting through uncertainty. 
Fighting for the ability to remain on the treatment my medical team believes is the most appropriate for my disease.

And the truth is , no patient should have to live this way.

MS is not just fatigue or “bad days.” 
It can mean losing vision. 
Losing mobility. 
Losing independence. 
Losing parts of your future while trying to hold your family together through it all.

That is why this walk matters so deeply to me.

Because awareness without action is not enough.

This is about advocacy. 
This is about dignity. 
This is about equitable access to treatment. 
This is about making sure patients are seen as human beings , not statistics or cost-saving measures.

Stand beside me and the entire MS community here in British Columbia.
Let’s show the strength behind these stories. 

Let’s show the human cost behind these policies. 

Let’s make this walk impossible to ignore.
If you can -  walk with me, support the team, or stand beside the MS community on May 31st, join us. 🧡
