A young mother of two, Amy's world turned upside down—literally—when in 2023 an unexpected attack of vertigo and vomiting signalled something wasn't right.
When her husband found her sitting on the shower floor in the middle of the night, they both knew something was very wrong.
Two years later, with appropriate treatment and unwavering determination, Amy has embraced a second chance at life—one where MS doesn’t define her, but empowers her.
Amy's powerful story is an evolution from fear to resilience which portrays hope and possibility for anyone newly diagnosed.
