It’s been 16 years since Wayne touched the sand – and more than 30 since he competed in the Iron Man Australia triathlon. He’s missed the beach so much.
MS brought mobility issues, and made it impossible to get to the beach. Then your kindness helped connect Wayne with his Support Coordinator, Lisa. She helped Wayne source the custom-made, off-road wheelchair that carried him back to the place he loves most.
“Without the help of MS Plus, and without the help of my Support Coordinator Lisa and her advice of what was required to fund a chair like that, I wouldn’t have that chair,” Wayne says.
The beach had always been a big part of Wayne’s life. It was a joy he thought he had lost, but this incredible moment shows that no matter how far along in their MS journey a person may be, things can change for the better.
It is your generosity that helps enable Support Coordinators like Lisa to help people with MS live their best possible lives.
Thank you for helping Wayne – and many others.
